Alzheimer Scotland Annual Conference 2026
September 18
The Alzheimer’ Scotland Annual Conference 2026 will be held on Friday 18 September at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). As always, our conference is a great opportunity to hear from a range of engaging speakers, network and make new friends, and visit our marketplace with a variety of information stands.
Continuing on from Dementia Awareness Week, our conference theme is ‘Better Care, Full Stop’ which builds on our recent campaigning work.
Programme for the day (10am-4.30pm)
The event will be opened by members of our Active Voice groups. This will be followed by a keynote speech from our Chief Executive Henry Simmons.
The conference will have three sessions:
- Session 1 – Better care and policy: Why change today could transform tomorrow
- Session 2 – Innovations in practice: The creative approaches changing the national and international landscape
- Session 3 – Looking forward: How research is giving us hope for better care
There will also be a special lunchtime discussion session that attendees can participate in about the changes needed to improve dementia care and support across Scotland.
A full programme will be available in the coming weeks.
As always, tickets for people with dementia and carers are free – please email conference@alzscot.org for more information about free tickets.
