About The Congress

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The Taiwan Movement Disorder Society (TMDS), established in 2007, is pleased to invite you to the 8th Taiwan International Congress of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders (TIC-PDMD). This prestigious event will be held from November 6 to 8, 2026, at the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC) in Taipei, Taiwan.

The TIC-PDMD is a biennial congress launched and organized by the TMDS. The inaugural congress took place on March 30-31, 2013, and was a remarkable success, attracting over 300 participants and featuring 35 presentations delivered by globally renowned experts. Since then, each TMDS President has dedicated their efforts to elevating TIC-PDMD into a truly international forum, consistently expanding its academic scope and influence. Now, following a decade of steadfast commitment, TIC-PDMD has solidified its position as one of Asia's most prestigious congresses, becoming a leading event in the Asia-Oceanic region and a proud hallmark of the TMDS.

The main theme of the upcoming 8th TIC-PDMD is "Honoring the Past, Empowering the Future: Bridging New Technology and Patient Care," encapsulating two pivotal commitments. First, it pays tribute to the exceptional contributions of pioneers in the study and treatment of Parkinson's disease and movement disorders. Their unwavering efforts have established the foundation for the clinical expertise, therapeutic advancements, and scientific discoveries that support current practices. Simultaneously, the focus shifts toward an innovative future where breakthroughs in technology, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence will revolutionize diagnosis, treatment modalities, and patient-centered care.

The program features the President Award, Video Tournament, four Plenary Sessions, ten Parallel Sessions, two Workshops, and two Practice Highlights. Alongside Taiwanese speakers, over 20 internationally acclaimed specialists and scholars have been invited to present on cutting-edge topics. These topics encompass gene and molecular therapies for Parkinson's disease, emerging perspectives in neurophysiology for movement disorders, advancements in imaging and brain stimulation techniques, contributions of neuroimaging to improving clinical diagnosis, approaches to tackling dystonia and myoclonus, as well as the integration of AI and device-assisted therapies into clinical practice. Notably, the "President Award" session will commemorate the 20th Anniversary of TMDS with three speeches centered on "The Journey of Dedication and Engagement: Where We Commence and What We Expand."

This is an excellent opportunity to explore Taipei, the vibrant capital city of Taiwan, with its highly efficient public transportation system, including the MRT. Admire breathtaking views of the city from the iconic Taipei 101 tower, easily accessible via its high-speed elevators—no climbing required!
