About the 2025 Conference

How society can beat health inequalities in dementia

People with dementia and their carers face healthcare inequalities from their first diagnosis to the end of their lives. These inequalities affect their ability to get an accurate and timely diagnosis and the appropriate care and support they need. Where people live, their level of deprivation, age, culture and ethnicity should not affect their experience of dementia. We know it will take a society to beat dementia.

Alzheimer’s Society Annual Conference 2025 will bring together researchers, policy makers, health and social care professionals, as well as community groups and involvement groups, to take a hard look at the realities of our healthcare systems, and practices already underway in tacking inequalities, to ensure everyone gets a fairer deal throughout their dementia journey.

Why are you charging people with dementia and carers?

At Alzheimer’s Society Annual Conference 2025 we will charge people affected by dementia a reduced registration fee of £70. Charging for people affected by dementia (PABD) is in line with key dementia conferences (ADI, Dementia Congress). The conference aims to influence key members of the health and social care and local and national government. The registration fee is designed to dissuade members of the general public not in the target audience from attending, in order to maintain achievement of these aims.

We have assigned the reduced fee of £70 to PABD as this will cover the basic costs associated with a delegate attending the conference. This is primarily the per person cost Alzheimer’s Society is liable to cover for each delegate. Our Annual Conference takes place in London to ensure we can welcome members of national government and is such is a costly endeavour for the Society. We are required therefore to ensure we recoup costs in every way possible. Other income sources include sponsorship of the event, exhibition fees and ticket sales.

People with dementia will be able to bring a carer to the conference at no additional cost.
