Par-Con
Par-Con, the Parkinson’s UK community convention, is our free, 2-day event for the Parkinson's community.
We came together on Friday 24 and Saturday 25 October at the Vox Venue in Birmingham and online to share information, updates and tips on living well with Parkinson's. We had 835 people join us online across the 2 days and around 360 people join us in person at the venue.
The convention was full of positivity, emotion and hope. From sessions on where we’re at in the search for better treatments, to an interactive session with Angela Rippon showcasing the benefits of dance. There really was something for everyone.
Our convention was organised by a working group with many different experiences. People living with Parkinson’s, newly diagnosed or diagnosed for some time. Young onset or diagnosed later in life. Supporters and loved ones. Health professionals. A special thank you to this group who helped make it a success.
