I was able to make last minute plans to attend the conference and would appreciate the chance to meet anyone else attending from this forum. I don't have the ability yet to access the private message feature to contact anyone, so it would be great to hear on this thread how to get in touch with others from this forum who are there. Thanks!

Really enjoyed your book, Nan. Inspirational, and engaging. It also convinced me to add 3x stationary bike to my routine.
I was going to ask you a question, but there were too many others compelled to use the opportunity to make a statement. I found their stories interesting, and therapeutic, so I guess that's all good. My question was going to be to ask about your decision to start Sinemet in 2014. Why did you wait so long? And what convinced you it was time? - Brett |

Just back from WPC2016, my first conference since diagnosis 6 months ago.
I found the conference very useful, particularly the poster sessions where researchers present their latest work. There is interesting work going on in many areas: vaccines, stem cells, regrowing neurons along pathways of currently-dead neurons, and so on. It was also interesting to speak to so many people with PD, and to observe how they cope with the disease at its various stages. The most frustrating thing was not being able to get into the roundtable talks I wanted to attend. There were many similarly frustrated people on the waiting lists. Those roundtables need to either be repeated or somehow opened up to larger numbers. All in all, a great event. I will attend at least one more, and will be much more careful about early sign up to roundtables. Dan |

On another note, the final Partners in Parkinson's event will be held in NYC on Oct. 1st. Over 2,000 people have registered for the event. Although very different in design than WPC, it is equally as valuable for PWP. If you're in the NYC metropolitan area, try to make it. I will be on the panel for the closing session in the afternoon. If you're there, please come over and say hello!
