The World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy) 2011

The 5th World Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy), will take place in Beijing, China, on October 13-16, 2011.

The success of the previous CONy Congresses, which took place in Europe, paved the way for a locally oriented CONy Congress.

Academically CONy Congress will raise the most dynamic and controversial topics facing clinicians in the fields of neurology in an exciting debate forum.  The Congress will promote excellence in the field by seeking to shed light on ongoing and challenging debates and to bridge gaps between the expansion of information and its consolidation in clinical practice.

Allowing ample time for speaker-audience discussion, the Congress aims at reaching up-to-date and agreed-upon answers to ongoing debates even when data remains limited, through evidence-based medicine and expert opinion.  Participants will have the opportunity to take part in this vibrant meeting which will facilitate discussions on the shared experiences and opinions of leading local and international experts.

The CONy Congress will emphasize issues related to the region in terms of epidemiology, genetics, diagnostics and clinical management, as well as typical complications and distinctive responses to treatments.

Many of the Faculty members will be local in order to facilitate the involvement of a large number of participants in the debates and to discuss typical regional problems.
