WFN Congress Committees and subcommittees

The World Congress of Neurology (WCN) is the biennial 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.

The Congress Committee (CC) shall help the delegates decide which venue would be most suited for a successful meeting in the region by site-visiting and presenting reports to the Council of Delegates. As of now, WCN 2023 will be held in Montreal in Canada, and the candidates for WCN 2025 are kindly requested to bid from the Asian-Oceanian region.
