2009 Southeastern
Parkinson Disease Conference
October 8 - 10, 2009


Historic "Old Mill", Berry College,
Rome, GA
The first Southeastern Parkinson
Disease Conference was held in September 2006 as a
1½ day symposium. A need for an annual conference that would serve not
just Rome, Georgia, but the entire Southeastern United States
was expressed by the attendees. Along with the “Fall
Symposium”, the Northwest Georgia Parkinson Disease Association
held an Anniversary Gala. The Gala For Hope brought community
leaders together with people living with Parkinson Disease to
celebrate HOPE for a future free from Parkinson Disease.
In 2007
the expanded 2 ½ day conference was renamed the Southeastern
Parkinson Disease Conference (SPDC) to better express our target
audience. Berry College also became the host location for the
SPDC. Attendees came from across the United States to enjoy the
weekend of networking, education and advocacy. 2009 is our 4th
Annual Southeastern Parkinson Disease Conference.
The SPDC
begins with our traditional Opening Night Reception on Thursday
night. The education and advocacy sessions held on Friday and
Saturday feature both medical professionals and "patient experts".
Friday night's Gala for Hope provides an opportunity to dress up and
celebrate ourselves, each other and the advances that have been made
toward better treatments and ultimately a cure for Parkinson
Disease. Come, spend time with old friends and meet new
ones.
