“After two incredibly successful years, this conference has become a cornerstone for those passionate about advancing dementia and palliative care. Each year we see remarkable collaboration, innovation and compassion, all focused on improving the lives of people affected by dementia. The 2026 event promises to go even further, bringing together the brightest minds and most dedicated professionals to share knowledge, inspire change and champion person-centred care. We’re thrilled to welcome Dr Jeremy Isaacs as our keynote speaker and to continue driving national conversations on how dementia and palliative care can evolve to meet future needs.”
