Welcome to the 2019 Dementia Care Conference!

We welcome you to learning more about the 2019 Alzheimer's Association Dementia Care Conference! We are glad you are interested in advancing your understanding of dementia care best practices and engaging with fellow caregivers and health professionals at the premier Alzheimer's disease conference in our region on April 19, 2019.

The Dementia Care Conference was built with you in mind. We aim to enhance and enrich your caregiving experience by delivering high-quality educational seminars and resources.

Two keynote presenters will join us this year. Rebecca Edelmayer, PhD, is the Director of Scientific Engagement at the Alzheimer's Association, and she will highlight innovative, collaborative research studies showing promise in our field. Julie Masters, PhD, is the Department Chair for the University of Nebraska Department of Gerontology, and she will engage the audience around self-care best practices. Both keynotes are known across the United States, and will provide an exceptional learning experience for conference participants. Alongside their presentations, local vendors will also be available to share available community resources throughout the day.

Education is powerful. Education ignites positive change. Let's build a stronger, more educated and more united Nebraska.
