Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit and Pre-Summit Listening Session

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.

Whether you're a care partner/caregiver, an interest holder, living with dementia yourself, or a passionate member of the dementia care and caregiving community, your insights are vital. Join the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging (NIA) for a FREE virtual Pre-Summit Listening Session to share your ideas for consideration at the 2026 Dementia Care and Caregiving Research Summit. Summit organizers are holding this event to ensure the agenda reflects our collective vision.
