3 Conferences – 1 Goal – A World Without ALS.
Every year the Alliance organizes meetings to serve the broader ALS/MND community:
- Annual Alliance Meeting, and,
- Allied Professionals Forum.
In addition, the MND Association of England, Wales and Northern Ireland organises the International Symposium on ALS/MND, a scientific conference on ALS/MND for researchers and neurologists.
