AAIC For All: July 16, 2026

Registration is still open for the Alzheimer's Association International Conference special
session titled "AAIC For All". This portion of AAIC is free, you can learn from top AD experts about the latest research/news. There are two key sessions:

  1. AAIC 2026 Highlights
    1. A Lived Experience Perspective: The Importance of Research
    2. Setting the Scene: Prevalence of AD & Other Dementia in the UK & Globally
    3. Breakthroughs in Early Detection and Diagnosis
    4. Recent Advancements in Treatment Approaches
    5. Insights into Risk Reduction & Lifestyle Modification Strategies
    6. Empowering Care Partners & Care Givers Around the Globe
    7. Q&A Panel Discussion
  2. AAIC 2026 in the Neighborhood (cutting-edge research from UK-based scientists)
    1. Peripheral-Central Immune Crosstalk Along Brain Borders Regulates Neuronal Activity-Dependent Synapse Elimination
    2. PET-to-Postmortem insights into Glial Specificity of TSPO PET in Frontotemporal Dementia
    3. Impact of Plasma P-tau217 Testing on Diagnosis in a Real-world NHS Memory Clinic Population
    4. Mediation of the Relationship Between Air Polluion and Dementia: A UK Biobank Study
    5. Regional Variation in the Potential for Dementia Prevention Across England
    6. Modifiable Factors in the Effect of Menopause Age on Dementia Outcomes: A UK Biobank Study
    7. Childhood Predictors of Dementia and Mortality: 78 Year Follow-up of the 1946 British Birth Cohort

There is one catch -the conference begins at 10 am London time, which is 5 am EST! However, those who register have access to review recordings later.

Below is a link for free registration for AAIC For All. I found the website a bit cumbersome, be careful to select only the "AAIC For All" portion to avoid any registration fees. Specifically, after you enter your address and other info, start looking for the options of what sessions you want to attend. Be sure  to *only* click on the round "radio" button to attend the free morning and afternoon AAIC FOR ALL session. Do *NOT* click on the main multi-day conference items, or you will be required to pay a hefty registration fee!

If you successfully register for *only* AAIC For All, then you should have a zero balance due. You will know you made an error if your balance due is other than zero!
