MEDIA RELEASE COMMUNIQUE AUX MEDIAS MEDIENMITTEILUNG
We hope you enjoy our special new publication looking back at the 34th Alzheimer Europe Conference in Geneva!
12 February 2025, Luxembourg - We are delighted to announce a special publication about the 34th Alzheimer Europe Conference (34AEC) which took place from 8 to 10 October 2024 in Geneva (Switzerland). If you were at the conference, we hope you enjoy looking back at some of the highlights from the event. If you were unable to join us in Geneva, we hope that this publication gives you a real flavour of our conference and encourages you to join us for a future event, perhaps even for our upcoming 2025 conference #35AEC taking place in Bologna, Italy, from 6 to 8 October 2025 under the banner “Connecting science and communities: The future of dementia care”.
This new publication, which is a supplement to the upcoming 47th edition of our "Dementia in Europe" magazine (to be launched at the end of February 2025), is currently available in an electronic format (see download link at the end of this article), while printed copies will be sent out together with the magazine during the month of March.
The conference supplement includes a “Warmup” section, where you will find coverage of a number of important pre-conference meetings. We then take a look at all of the conference plenary sessions (Opening Ceremony, Plenaries 1 to 5, Closing Ceremony).
On top of coverage of the ancillary meetings and plenary sessions in Helsinki, we are pleased to share some other aspects of the event, including: A special symposium on “Preparing for new AD treatments” organised by Alzheimer Europe and supported by the gold sponsorship from Lilly; A special symposium presenting the work of ten early-stage researchers, who were selected by our jury to benefit from attendance bursaries provided by the Alzheimer Europe Foundation; the “Rolling for Dementia” campaign led by Golnaz Atefi, a dementia researcher based at Alzheimer’s Centre Limburg, who skated over 1,000 km across Europe, on her way to Geneva, to raise awareness about the importance of diversity and representation in dementia research; some of the many and varied research projects in which we are involved attending and presenting their work at the event; some thoughts from our conference co-hosts, Alzheimer Switzerland and Alzheimer Geneva; some highlights from social media; a few thoughts from keynote speakers who attended and presented in Geneva; and a few facts and figures surrounding the event.
Photos and videos of 34AEC
Throughout the publication, we include many photos, as well as links to videos of our recorded sessions (also available in French and German) so you can revisit them or view them for the first time, if you did not attend 34AEC. For more photos, you can also view the conference photo gallery page (scroll to bottom of page, below the media links).
We hope you enjoy this very special conference publication!
