Conference and the hosts
About the biennial conference
Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) is proud to play host to the longest running international conference on dementia, attracting over 1,000 delegates from all corners of the world. Held every two years, the conference boasts an international range of keynote speakers and oral and poster presenters, whose talks report on the latest advances in each of the 7 action areas of the World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) Global action plan on dementia.
With a high standard of scientific and non-scientific content, the conference programme appeals to a broad audience ranging from medical professionals and researchers to informal carers and people living with dementia.
About Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI)
Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) is the international federation of Alzheimer and dementia associations around the world; in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO). Our vision is risk reduction, timely diagnosis, care and inclusion today, and cure tomorrow.
We believe that tackling dementia requires efforts at global, regional and local levels, and so we advocate at multilateral, bilateral and regional levels. We work by empowering Alzheimer and dementia associations to advocate for dementia as a national priority, to raise awareness and to offer care and support for people with dementia and their care partners.
Globally, we strive to focus attention on dementia, maintain it as a global health priority, campaign for better policy from governments and encourage investment and innovation in dementia research.
Previous ADI conferences
ADI has proudly played host to 37 Global Conferences around the world, in locations such as Christchurch, Kyoto and Toronto. To learn more about previous ADI conferences, visit the Alzheimer's Disease International Website.
