There are many wonderful conferences and summits held around the world for Parkinson’s but they can be expensive to attend and logistically challenging. INSIGHT offers you the same quality of information, speakers and networking without any of the hassle, and at a fraction of the cost.
INSIGHT brings the entire conference directly to you in your living room on ANY internet enabled device 24/7! Watch the presentations, re-visit them in your own time, join the online conversation, and visit the exhibition booths…
Here are five reasons to join us at INSIGHT next year!
