WSO is the only global organisation solely focused on stroke. Through our global member network and partnerships we work to unite the stroke community. Our global and regional events bring our members, partners and stroke stakeholders together to share latest research, exchange best practices, drive improvements and advance the stroke policy agenda.
Our World Congress and Regional Conferences are developed in collaboration with WSO members, governments, regional agencies, NGOs and industry partners. These events provide an important opportunity for all stroke stakeholders to share knowledge and best practice and to build relationships and parrtnerships to help advance the stroke agenda.
We are pleased to invite you to the 15th World Stroke Congress that’s to take place in Toronto, Canada. between 10 and 12 October 2023

Each year our Congress gets better, more exciting, and more informative, and we can’t wait to show you what next October will bring. In addition, our international community grows bigger and more engaged with each passing Congress. The knowledge, experience, science, and discoveries exchanged by our community, and the connections and collaborations formed, are amongst our most cherished achievements.
