21st Annual Conference on Alzheimer’s
Disease and Other Dementias
The goal of the 21st Annual Conference on Alzheimer’s Disease and Other
Dementias is to inform, educate and train individuals in Mississippi and
surrounding states who are caring for persons with Alzheimer’s disease
and other types of dementia. This year’s conference, themed “Going
the Distance: Advances in Research and Care,” will provide insight into
global trends in Alzheimer’s and dementia research as well as advances in
research in Mississippi. It will also focus on helpful strategies to prepare
individuals and families to successfully navigate the caregiving journey.
The Conference Planning Team acknowledges the challenges that the
COVID-19 pandemic has levied on delivering in-person professional
education. To ensure the safety of our attendees and provide flexible
options for those who are unable to travel at this time, a limited, in-person
attendance format will be offered as well as a virtual, livestreamed option.
Additional pre-recorded, on-demand sessions will be available to all
attendees to enhance continuing education credit opportunities.
The in-person conference option will be held at the Hilton Jackson Hotel
and Conference Center in Jackson, Mississippi and “virtual” attendees will
be given access to a website with links to participate in the livestreamed
sessions. Both “in-person” and “virtual” attendees will be given access to a
website with links to the pre-recorded, on-demand sessions and provided
the opportunity to visit with Exhibitors either in-person or in virtual exhibit
rooms to learn about their products and services.
