About

The 10th annual Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS) Forum 2025 will take place February 27 - March 1 in West Palm Beach, Florida, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center and the Hilton West Palm Beach.

This CE-accredited meeting stands apart from many traditional medical meetings by featuring a single track of scientific and clinical presentations that highlight the latest advancements in MS and related disorders. Key features of the Forum include the Kenneth P. Johnson Memorial Lecture, the National MS Society Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research Lecture, poster sessions showcasing over 500 poster presentations, numerous networking opportunities, and a vibrant Industry Hub.

The theme of the ACTRIMS Forum 2025 is “Making Connections” — connections within the brain, connections between the brain and the body, and connections across the MS clinical and research community. Invited presentations will link aging to MS pathology and progression, explore cross-disorder and neuroanatomical connections in MS, bridge the gap between data and clinical application, and delve into new concepts in brain repair and protection.  

A special thank you to our Program Committee for planning an outstanding 2025 program!

ACTRIMS is dedicated to fostering the careers of Young Investigators with an interest in MS. The first session of the Forum features platform presentations by Young Investigators who are selected based on a review of submitted abstracts. In addition, junior faculty, fellows, and students who submit abstracts are eligible for an educational grant to support their attendance. Neurologists in training will also benefit from the pre-conference Neurology Resident Summit in Multiple Sclerosis, offering insights into career paths in clinical and investigative neuroimmunology.
