VeDA's Annual
Virtual Conference
2024 Conference Closed
About Life Rebalanced Live
The Vestibular Disorders Association will be hosting its fourth annual Virtual Vestibular Conference. Vestibular disorders cause a variety of disorienting and debilitating symptoms such as loss of coordination, vertigo, and dizziness, leaving desperate and confused patients searching for answers.
Patients will hear from several different experts on topics relevant to the vestibular disorders community, all from the comfort of their homes. Patients will also have the ability to ask specific questions directly to the speakers.
Free admission includes:
- Access to five live presentations by premier vestibular healthcare providers.
- Each presentation is followed by a panel of patients discussing their experience on that day's topic.
- Closed captions for live presentations and panels.
- Ability to watch the recorded presentations for 24-hours after the conclusion of the session.
- Access to online chat rooms where you can ask questions of presenters and connect directly with other participants.
