The Parkinson Association of the Rockies’ Colorado Community Conference is Colorado’s premier conference focused on Parkinson’s research and treatments.

At this year's conference, attendees will learn about the research being done in Parkinson's, sleep and the gut and have the opportunity to speak with researchers in Colorado.

Due to the pandemic, we will be holding our biennial Colorado Community Conference virtually this year on the Accelevents platform.
