We’re thrilled to announce that the 36th @AlzheimerEurope Conference will take place in Dublin Convention Centre, 27–29 October 2026!

Themed “Sláinte: Building momentum in dementia through policy, research and partnership”, the conference will bring together people living with dementia, family carers, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers from across Europe to share knowledge, spark collaboration, and drive innovation.

Discussions will focus on emerging research, new treatments, and translating innovations like e-health interventions into real-world practice.

A highlight will be the active participation of advocates and family carers, ensuring lived experience shapes policy and research through Person Public Involvement (PPI).

We’re looking forward to it! Learn more: https://t.co/wJZH7RG18R
