Every second year European Huntington’s Disease Network (EHDN) hosts one of the world’s largest conferences dedicated solely to Huntington’s disease (HD). In 2020, the EHDN Plenary Meeting was supposed to take place in Bologna, Italy September 10-12. However, the meeting is postponed exactly 1 year – until September 10-12, 2021.
Postponed due to COVID-19. Hopefully we will see you next year instead!
The European Huntington Association (EHA) Business Meeting is held every other year and is taking place around the same time as the EHDN Plenary Meeting.
During the Business Meeting, the EHA Board will present their work over the last two years. Participants will also have the opportunity learn more about Huntington’s disease, research and get to know others in the Huntington community. At the Business Meeting in 2018, new representatives from Greece and Gran Canaria attended. You can find a video from the last Meeting here.
The Business Meeting is open to members of the European Huntington Association. Usually, each member association have one or two representatives at the meeting.

Huntington’s disease in children receives less attention than Huntington’s disease in adults. However, research indicates that the childhood disease works somewhat different than the one seen in adults. Two years ago, Squitieri found that the juvenile disease should be separated into two distinct categories: one more aggressive than the other. Moreover, the two should perhaps be treated differently. Learn more about Squitieri’s findings here!
Speaker: Ferdinando Squitieri
Squitieri has been studying and treating patients with Huntington’s disease and juvenile onset Huntington’s disease over the last 30 years. He is Head of the Huntington and Rare Diseases Unit at Fondazione IRCCS Casa Sollievo Sofferenza Research Hospital in San Giovanni Rotondo and the Neurology Department at CSS-Mendel Institute in Rome.

Chorea denotes movement disorders. The term is derived from the Ancient Greek “choreia” meaning “dance”. The most common inherited cause of chorea is Huntington’s disease, which formerly was called Huntington’s chorea. However, it was renamed because of the many important, non-movement features characterising the disease.
Speaker: Juan Dario Ortigoza-Escobar
Ortigoza-Escobar is a pediatric neurologist from the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu in Barcelona, Spain. He is specialised in movement disorders such as dystonia, Parkinsonisms, chorea, tremors, myoclonias, tics/Tourette syndrome and deep brain stimulation.

Due to the corona virus, the International Young Adult Congress had to be postponed from 9 May 2020 until 9 March 2021. HDYO is still extremely excited for Congress in 2021 and hope that everyone who was planning to attend in 2020 will be able to attend in March 2021.
The conference will take place in Glasgow, Scotland and HDYO are committed to keep their “star-studded line up and making it an amazing experience for all”.
