Upcoming Meetings

EHDN Plenary Meeting 2018

September 14–16, 2018 | Vienna, Austria

The European Huntington’s Disease Network (EHDN) aims to facilitate research in order to advance knowledge and develop effective therapies for HD. An example is seen in the new issue of JHD, where a research study investigating cancer incidence in JHD utilized data from the EHDN's REGISTRY.

The EHDN Plenary Meeting in Vienna in September will include a series of plenary sessions of interest to clinicians, scientists, and the wider HD community. Topics presented will feature reports on recent advances in HD research (in both basic and clinical sciences). If you plan to attend, further details are available on the EHDN event website (registration is now closed).

JHD information will be available to delegates at EHDN 2018 in Vienna: we encourage delegates to consider submitting research to the journal.

HSG Annual Meeting 2018

November 8–10, 2018 | Houston, TX, USA

The Huntington Study Group (HSG) hosts an annual, internationally recognized forum for training and education of HD researchers, and for presentation of new research findings and treatments to the worldwide community, plus much more.

This year's HSG Annual Meeting will take place in Houston, TX, USA in November and registration is now open. For more information, view the HSG website here.
