Seventy leading academic and industry researchers, innovators, and public advocates will report research progress on Alzheimer’s Disease in the Alzheimer’s Research Summit. This summit is to take place at 45 Center Dr. Bethesda MD 2081 and is hosted by National Institute on Aging. This summit will include a decade of work and progress and hopes to chart the next decade. The goal is to accelerate the development of effective therapies for the symptoms of Alzheimer’s like cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms. This summit is important because it brings alot of people together like government, industry, academia, private foundation, and patient advocacy groups. In the past the these events identified gaps and opportunities that helped develop new milestones. Which helped to develop the Alzheimer's Disease Bypass Budget.
The Alzheimer’s Research Summit is to take place on September 23rd to September 25th between the hours 8:30am to 5:30pm and to 4:00pm on September 25th. This program will be held in person and via online live stream and registration is required for both. This is done by emailing the Summit planning team.
