It gives us great pleasure to invite you to the 20th Alzheimer Europe Conference which will be held from 30 September to 2 October 2010. And what better city to celebrate the 20th anniversary of our organisation than Luxembourg which has been home to the Alzheimer Europe office since 1996 and where the new conference centre is the direct neighbour of the European Commission, the European Parliament and the European Court of Justice.

Organised under the theme “Facing dementia together”, the conference hopes to explore the partnerships and collaborations necessary to promote a better quality of life for people with dementia and their carers.

We are delighted to have secured the participation of some eminent dementia experts who will further develop this theme in our four plenary sessions which focus on the core relationship between people with dementia and their carers, as well as their relationship with professional carers, doctors and researchers, with the final plenary session being dedicated to the collaboration between the wider dementia community and policy makers.
