Each November, the Alzheimer’s Association Illinois Chapter hosts a research symposium in honor of National Family Caregivers Month — a time to recognize caregivers’ contributions, raise awareness and connect families with valuable information and support.

This annual event brings together more than 300 caregivers, individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, family members and healthcare professionals. Attendees gain insights into the latest Alzheimer’s and dementia research, access practical tools and resources, and learn more about the Association’s leadership in advancing global research initiatives.
