The Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) 2018 will be held July 22-26 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. Each year, AAIC convenes the world's leading basic science and clinical researchers, next generation investigators, clinicians and the care research community to share data and discoveries.
AAIC is the premier forum for presentation and discussion of the latest Alzheimer's and dementia research.
Groundbreaking new theories, methods and results will be revealed for the first time. The conference will feature roughly 3,000 scientific presentations – including late-breaking "Developing Topics."
New studies reported at AAIC 2018 will cover the spectrum of Alzheimer and dementia research, including causes, risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Researchers from around the world will be presenting news regarding:
- Late breaking clinical trials with positive results.
- The impact of Alzheimer's dementia on women, and sex-specific aspects of risk and treatment response.
- Alzheimer's/dementia/cognitive decline risk factors and possible risk reduction strategies.
- New approaches to treating the non-cognitive symptoms of dementia
