The World Dementia Council is holding a high-level virtual roundtable focused on advancing dementia research and clinical trials in Latin America and the Caribbean on 21 November 2024. It is the first of three virtual roundtable focused on dementia public policy in Latin America and the Caribbean ahead of a high-level summit, hosted by the World Dementia Council in South America in May 2025. 

This high-level academic conference is for clinicians, academics and industry professionals working in China with international experts participating in the meeting. It takes place in Guangzhou on November 9-10 November and will be live streamed. Around six million people have dementia in China and with a rapidly ageing population dementia presents a significant health and fiscal challenge. 

The 2025 Summit takes place in London on March 25 2025. The summit will have parallel strands on disrupting the science: accelerating innovation in prevention, diagnosis and treatments, and a second stand on disrupting the system: building the future health system. The meeting brings together policy makers, academics, industry and avocates and will focus on how to accelerate innovation and deliver change.
