PSP/CBD Research Update and Practical Conference Overview

psp-cbd-conference-2017

One attendee reflected on the conference this way:  "Excellent speakers, all of them. This was a well-balanced program between research and practical."

The morning was focused on updates from nine researchers, with two panels.  The afternoon was focused on practical information from eight clinicians and laypeople, with two panels.

Nine generous families sponsored the videorecording of the conference.  Brain Support Network asked a medical writer to take notes throughout the conference.  See the conference agenda, full set of notes from the day, and link to the conference video.

Below, you will find:
* each speaker's one-page handout (distributed at the conference)
* most speakers slides (not all speakers allowed their slides to be shared)
* presentation or panel notes (prepared by BSN's medical writer)
* video of the presentations and panels

BSN makes these conference materials available to the public at no charge.  We thank the speakers and our donors.  Without their generosity, this conference would not have been possible.  Please help make our next conference possible by donating today.
