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.
