About the Dementia Conference

A Meeting of the Minds: Dementia Conference 2010 is co-sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association Minnesota-North Dakota and Mayo Clinic who work together to create a day designed to inform, equip and support persons with dementia, family caregivers and professionals.  As in past years, national, regional and local presenters come together to ensure an innovative and insightful conference for the 1,200 participants and over 70 sponsors and exhibits. The historically sold-out conference will be held at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, MN on Saturday, March 20, 2010.

Conference Goals:

• Highlight the most current research findings and best practices utilized in the care and support of those with dementia
• Provide the most current, state-of-the-art information and resources for those with dementia and those who care for them
• Raise awareness and promote advocacy for issues relevant to the care and well-being of persons with dementia and their care partners

Conference Highlights:

Early Stage track for persons with early stage dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)

Advanced Practice Medical Symposium for physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants

Professional track for those who care for persons with dementia
