Parkinson's Symposiums
Education and Community for the Parkinson’s Journey.
The Wisconsin Parkinson Association Symposiums bring the Parkinson’s community together for a day of education, practical guidance, and meaningful connection.
These events are designed for people living with Parkinson’s, care partners, family members, and professionals who want to better understand Parkinson’s disease and learn strategies for living well.
Through expert presentations, practical insights, movement opportunities, and shared experiences, WPA symposiums create a welcoming environment where individuals can learn, ask questions, and connect with others navigating Parkinson’s.
Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for many years, these events offer opportunities to gain knowledge, build confidence, and strengthen community support.
