Meet us at ADI 2024 for the Longitude Prize on Dementia Tech Showcase

25 March 2024

The 36th Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) Conference will take place 24-26 April 2024, both in Kraków, Poland and online. Coming together under the conference theme of ‘Dementia: Insights. Innovations. Inspirations.’, the conference will bring together experts from across the world to share information on achievements, innovations and best practices in dementia research, care and policy, while continuing to address and challenge the perceptions around dementia.

Our special breakfast session hosted by Alzheimer’s Society and Challenge Works to spotlight the Longitude Prize on Dementia will open Day 2.

Longitude Prize on Dementia Technology Showcase

Join us on April 25th from 7:45-8:45 AM for the “Longitude Prize on Dementia Technology Showcase” to learn about the 24 international innovative solutions emerging from this £4+ million prize competition focused on the co-creation of cutting-edge technologies to support people living with dementia retain their independence for longer.

This interactive panel session will focus on why technology is a powerful tool, and how it can support and empower people living with dementia to live more independently, as well as highlighting the areas of opportunity for innovation in dementia care.

You’ll hear directly from challenge prize leadership, dementia experts, and those with lived experience about the transformative potential of these new products and services.

Our panelist lineup includes:

  • Fiona Carragher, Director of Research and Influencing at Alzheimer’s Society UK
  • Eric Kihlstrom, Longevity Market Specialist and Longitude Prize Judge 
  • Trevor Salomon, Chair of the Lived Experience Advisory Panel
  • Ruth Neale, Longitude Prize Programme Lead

You’ll get a closer look at all 24 of the breakthrough solutions advancing in the challenge prize through a printed booklet showcasing each team’s technology. These booklets will be distributed at the session and the Alzheimer’s Society booth, making it easy to connect with the innovators behind this work.

What to Expect at the ADI Conference

ADI is the umbrella organisation for all the Alzheimer’s Societies and Associations worldwide. The beauty of ADI conferences is that they attract many people from around the world – including better representation from low and middle income countries than any other conference in the dementia care field.  A good proportion of the attendees will be people living with dementia and family carers, and they are interested in things that will improve the quality of life for people in their countries.  

With diverse attendees from researchers and clinicians to caregivers and those living with dementia, the ADI Conference offers a unique setting to explore supportive technologies.  We look forward to highlighting these innovations and sparking dialogue around supporting people living with dementia to take on day-to-day challenges and enjoy their lives as long as possible. 

Let’s come together to gain insights, share innovations, and find inspiration in the future of dementia care.
