A day for everyone living with MS

‘In the past, the event has had great attendance from people in Europe and North America. But our goal is to make sure all people living with MS and related neurological conditions have access to all the information they need – no matter where in the world they live.’  Brett Drummond, co-founder of MStranslate and host of the ECTRIMS podcast

Live translation in more than 50 languages will make this years event accessible to the global MS community.

MS organisations and the patient voice

A new addition for 2025 is a panel of people with lived experience of MS and related conditions, who will share their thoughts on the importance of Patient Community Day and why they believe engaging with research is so critical.

There will also be speakers from MS organisations, including MSIF’s member, Multiple Sclerosis South Africa.

A midday networking session, will give in-person participants the opportunity to share experiences, ask questions of researchers and meet with representatives from Supporting Partner organisations from around the world.

At the same time, online audiences will be able to ask their questions in a live and exclusive “ask the expert” forum.
