This conference is unlike anything I’ve ever attended — under one roof and around one table, you’ll find family caregivers, people living with dementia, clinicians, researchers, and paraprofessionals — all learning from one another, sharing insight, and advancing care together.
I am so excited to be part of this innovative educational event that brings caring and learning together. Caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community leaders shall share their expertise and their knowledge to inspire and empower all who attend.
Attending this dementia educational conference will empower caregivers to connect with others who share their journey, learn about valuable resources and support, and gain insight into the latest scientific research—helping them provide compassionate, informed, and confident care.
I love conferences! They invigorate, inspire and provide professional self-care. Especially a conference like this where you can learn the latest in research, treatment and care from creators and innovators in the field while also hearing directly from individuals and caregivers impacted by dementia about their lived experience.
The heart of this conference is connection. Connection between people, ideas, and perspectives. Together we are creating a community of dementia care that will continue to grow and nurture families and professionals alike.
