27th Alzheimer Europe Conference Care today – 2 to 4 October 2017
Message of the organisator
We are very happy to invite you to the 27th Alzheimer Europe Conference which will be organised in collaboration with Deutsche Alzheimer Gesellschaft in Berlin from 2 to 4 October 2017.
This year’s conference will be held under the motto “Care today, cure tomorrow”. We want to focus on the exciting research aiming at finding better treatments and interventions to prevent or delay the onset of dementia, whilst at the same time providing concrete solutions to improve the quality of life, support and care of people currently living with the condition.
As in previous years, we hope that the 2017 conference will be a great networking opportunity which will bring together people with dementia, their carers, volunteers and staff of Alzheimer associations, policy makers, health and social care professionals, researchers, academics and industry representatives from all over Europe and beyond.
We have identified a number of key topics for which we would like participants to submit abstracts. We are confident that we will be able to continue and build on the success of previous years where we received over 300 abstracts for oral and poster presentations. The call for abstracts covers four broad fields (Medical aspects, care, living with dementia and ethical/legal issues), as we want to promote a multi-disciplinary and multi-professional approach to dementia.
As organisers, we are deeply grateful to the health programme of the European Union which supports the activities of Alzheimer Europe in general and this Annual Conference in particular. This support makes it possible for us to provide highly competitive registration rates for a truly unique conference.
We look forward to welcoming you in Berlin from 2 and 4 October.

Investigate solutions in technology, equipment, services, transportation, dining, leasing and financing. All in an environment focused on healthy, active aging.
