WFN Congress Committees and subcommittees

The World Congress of Neurology (WCN) is the biannual meeting of the WFN. Rotating from region to region, the destination of the WCN is voted by the WFN Council of Delegates. Each WCN needs to include regional and local aspects, and this must be reflected within the content as well as the selection of speakers.
