The Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit will be held virtually on March 17-19, 2026. The Summit offers a vital opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made in dementia care and caregiving research, as well as to address the persistent and emerging needs of people living with dementia, their care partners, and the communities and health systems that support them.
The 2026 Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit will cover:
Economic impacts of dementia
Individual and community partnerships for people living with dementia
Dementia care and caregiving interventions: advancing rigorous intervention development
Dementia care models and care coordination strategies across systems and states
Advances in AD/ADRD data infrastructure to support dementia care and caregiving research
Sharing lived experiences from people living with dementia, care partners, and family and community members
In addition to the Summit itself, we will host a virtual Pre-Summit Listening Session on October 29 at 2:00 pm ET to give attendees the opportunity to suggest themes and ideas for consideration. We look forward to engaging with Summit participants as we discuss current science and identify research gaps. Register now to participate in this virtual listening session. If you have any questions or need reasonable accommodations, please e-mail Jessica Boten before October 22.
