WFN Congress Committees and subcommittees
The World Congress of Neurology (WCN) is the major meeting of the WFN; biennial since 2009 and annual from 2027. 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.
WCN 2027 will be held in Cape Town, South Africa, co-hosted by the Neurological Association of South Africa (NASA).
