Welcome

Join us 19-21 October 2010 in London for our 4th international dementia conference: ‘Coming of Age: Dementia in the 21st Century’. The conference will address the needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia.

The conference is aimed at all those who work with and support people with dementia. The audience will include professionals from a diverse range of backgrounds including architects, emergency service personnel, volunteers, people with dementia and carers.

We are delighted to have secured a range of international experts in the field as our keynote speakers:

Professor Stephen G. Post, USA

Professor Henry Brodaty, Australia

Professor Sandrine Andrieu, France

Professor Emma Reynish, UK

A number of interesting and pertinent themes have been chosen for the conference.

I hope that you will put this date in your diary now and join us in October 2010 to celebrate our 21st birthday and be part of this landmark conference. Together we can make an impact on dementia care in the 21st century.

Confirmed Attendance:

The acclaimed actor and writer Simon Callow will attend the opening event of the conference on the 19th October which is an exhibition and information event. Professor Andrews, Director of the Dementia Services Development Centre said: 

"We are delighted that Simon is able to join us at this important event. Our conference will begin by us sharing time and information with the people who matter; those affected by dementia and their carers. This free event places people with dementia and their carers at the heart of our conference. Simon has accompanied his mother on her journey through dementia. He has brought comfort to those who have been privileged to hear and read his words about their experiences as mother and son. I cannot think of anyone more fitting to support us at the start of this major international event"
