2023 Childhood Dementia Symposium - accelerating therapeutic options for children with dementia

Childhood Dementia Initiative will hold the second Childhood Dementia Symposium in Sydney on Tuesday March 14 2023. 

The draft symposium program can be downloaded here.

This symposium will bring researchers, clinicians, industry and patient representatives together to accelerate the availability of therapeutic options for children with dementia.

In the morning, the symposium will feature keynote speakers, presentations and discussion about the needs, challenges and opportunities in the development of therapeutics for children with dementia. 

After lunch, there will be a facilitated networking session followed by presentations and discussion around the clinical and clinical trial aspects of childhood dementia. 

Although this symposium is open to anyone who would like to attend, it is primarily for researchers and clinicians and the presentations will be scientific in nature. We plan to extend the program in 2024 to include a health and social care stream, details of this will be shared in later 2023.

Payment by credit card or invoice is possible. Registrations close 9 March 2023.
