WHAT IS 2018 INSIGHT SUMMIT ALL ABOUT?

INSIGHT is an ambitious undertaking and the first of its kind. Never before has there been an online summit designed to reach a global audience. We are doing this to provide an inspirational and informative platform to help unite a global audience with something bigger!

We have already received a hugely positive response from speakers willing to give their time, organisations wanting to connect and people with Parkinson’s who have already registered.

Help us to create the biggest global audience of Parkinson’s ever!

Shake It Up Australia Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2011 and in partnership with The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) promotes and funds Parkinson’s disease research in Australia aimed at better treatments and ultimately a cure.

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

Not only does this Summit provide you with a fantastic opportunity to hear from world leading presenters all in the one place, the Summit itself is a world first for global collaboration in Parkinson’s.

Here are five reasons you cannot afford to miss out on the 2018 INSIGHT SUMMIT

  1. One place, three days, 30 expert speakers at your finger tips
  2. No associated travel or accommodation costs. This summit is direct to your living room!
  3. Eight topics streams that we know you want answers on
  4. Insight and hope to inspire a better life.
  5. Your opportunity to be part of something bigger

HOW DOES AN ONLINE SUMMIT WORK?

Online summits are delivered like a normal conference, except that they are delivered completely online and virtually. You can view the content directly from your living room, or from your phone when you are out-and-about. Once you have registered for the Summit you will receive a unique login to access the content over each day of the Summit and up to 30 days following, depending on your registration level.

Like a normal conference, there is a daily program schedule of speaker presentations, break sessions and an opportunity to visit the exhibition hall. We have separated the content into eight separate streams with speakers presenting for between 20 and 60 minutes each within those streams. There will be live Q&A sessions leading up to the Summit (hosted on Facebook Live), in addition to the two live Q&A sessions scheduled in the program already.

We are very excited to announce that this year we have 30 exhibitors who you can engage with in the exhibition hall – connect with technology companies producing apps and tools for people with Parkinson’s, medical and pharmaceutical agencies and organisations who are all working towards a common goal and a bigger picture! Don’t miss out, get your tickets now!

Gain invaluable insight from 30 World Class speakers!
