Online PD Events

Besides many worthwhile resources online, there are also many live events (or recently recorded events) where you can learn about new research, find out about treatments for non-motor symptoms, and much more.

Davis Phinney Foundation (of Every Victory Counts fame) hosts Victory Summits, live events scattered around the US and Canada. You can, of course, attend a Victory Summit live, but you can also watch the main speakers online as it happens.  There is no recording, and when the live event splits up into groups, about half-way through the day, they stop broadcasting.  But you can learn a lot.  See their website for more information.

Davis Phinney Foundations also hosts webinars.  For recordings of past webinars, and to register for new webinars see their webinars.

PMD Alliance (Parkinson Movement Disorder) provides many online webinars, including Lunch with Docs.  They don't seem to have recordings, but you can listen to/watch the webinars and ask questions.  (PMD Alliance is working on creating a listing of support groups for every state in the US!  What they have right now is here.)

The Parkinson's Foundation has both upcoming webinars to register for, and recordings of past webinars.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation also has upcoming webinars and recordings.

APDA (American PD Association has recordings of webinars here (they may also include information about forthcoming webinars).  Unlike other listings, these aren't dated, so you can't determine how old the material might be.

There is also Parkinson's TV on Youtube, with many programs already to watch

Though you can't ask questions on the TV, you often can at the webinars.  They can't give you medical advice, of course, but they can tell you what the research and typical clinical practice are.
