Alzheimer Europe and the Alzheimer Society of Ireland are organising the 36th Alzheimer Europe Conference from 27–29 October 2026, in Dublin, Ireland, at the Convention Centre Dublin under the theme: 

"Sláinte: Building momentum in dementia through policy, research, and partnership" 

The event is anticipated to welcome more than 1,200 delegates from across Europe, including a strong representation from Ireland, where dementia is increasing in prevalence and placing growing pressure on families, communities and the healthcare system.  

With Ireland set to hold the Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the conference offers a unique opportunity to spotlight dementia on both national and European policy agendas. The unique event will unite people living with dementia, family carers, researchers, clinicians, and policymakers to share knowledge, shape policy, and drive innovation in care and treatment. 

Conference organisers emphasise the inclusive nature of the event, especially focusing on people living with dementia and family carers whose voices and experiences must continue to shape the future of dementia care, research and policy.  

Alongside partners in Alzheimer Europe, delegates from across the continent will have the opportunity to showcase their work in collaboration with the wider dementia sector including the government, departments of health, national dementia services, academia, clinical research and more.
