The Greater Illinois Chapter hosts two research symposiums annually. With the support of the Fannie and Charles Penikoff Endowment, the day-long research symposium takes place in the fall at the Hyatt O’Hare in Chicago, features a keynote address about the latest in MS research, lunch, and afternoon break-out sessions by local researchers and clinicians. The regional research symposium held every summer in Peoria, is hosted in collaboration with the Illinois Neurological Institute and features local clinicians and researchers.
