Events / Programs

By participating in sponsored events (in-person or webcast), you will have the opportunity to be kept informed and educated on therapies, current news, drug trials, and other MS topics. Events are held across the country so you can stay connected with up to date information and the multiple sclerosis community in your area. (Note: Most events can be attended even if not on their therapy) *Before starting any treatment, it should be determined by your health care provider.
