The banner for the Alz Connected website indicates this site is "a dedicated community where people with Alzheimer’s, their caregivers, and others affected by the disease can share answers, opinions, ideas, and support."

Along those lines, one idea would be for those interested in Alzheimer's research is to attend the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) in Toronto, Canada on July 31, 2025. This is the final day of the conference, and it is called "AAIC For All".

There is no cost to attend this single-day event.

On the conference webpage under "Who Should Attend", they state "Interested individuals, including people living with the disease and caregivers, are invited to attend the AAIC For All community member track. Hear from global experts about what's next in Alzheimer's and dementia research, and discover how you can get involved with the Alzheimer's Association in the fight to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia."

As someone diagnosed with AD (I am taking Leqembi), I am planning to attend. Besides the conference, I like visiting Toronto :)

For those unable to attend, I will try to post to this website a short summary of the conference.
