The Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) is gearing up for its tenth annual Forum, set to take place from February 27 to March 1, 2025, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center and Hilton West Palm Beach in Florida. This year’s theme, “Making Connections,” will emphasize vital links within the brain, between the brain and body, and across the multiple sclerosis (MS) research and clinical communities.

Founded in 1995, ACTRIMS brings together leaders from the US and Canada committed to advancing treatment and research in MS and other demyelinating diseases. The organization focuses on fostering collaboration, education and knowledge dissemination to drive innovation in the field.

The ACTRIMS Forum 2025 promises a rich program featuring insights into aging and MS progression, cross-disorder and neuroanatomical connections, and the latest developments in brain repair and protection. Attendees can expect a unique, CE-accredited single-track format with scientific and clinical presentations, over 500 research posters and plenty of networking opportunities in a dynamic Industry Hub.

Highlights include the prestigious Kenneth P Johnson Memorial Lecture, delivered by Dr Jack Antel of McGill University, a distinguished clinical neurologist and MS researcher. The Forum will also host the National MS Society’s Barancik Prize ceremony, celebrating groundbreaking innovation in MS research.

Supporting the next generation of MS researchers is a cornerstone of ACTRIMS’ mission. The Forum’s opening session will feature young investigator presentations, while educational grants and the pre-conference Neurology Resident Summit will provide opportunities for trainees to explore career paths in neuroimmunology.
