30 Years of Alzheimer's Prevention Conference


Greetings!
I am pleased to announce that our fall conference, 30 Years of Alzheimer's Prevention, is now open for registration! This beautiful conference is a unique event that brings together a community of providers who share a common interest in Alzheimer's prevention. It offers a platform for networking, connecting, and learning from like-minded individuals who are passionate about helping their community maintain brain health and prevent cognitive decline.

You, friend, will have the opportunity to engage in discussions, ask questions, and exchange ideas with experts and fellow attendees, taking part in a supportive and empowering environment that fosters learning and growth. The 30 Years of Alzheimer's Prevention Conference on September 30 - October 1, 2023, is not-to-be-missed for anyone interested in Alzheimer's prevention.
One of the key reasons to attend this conference is the opportunity to learn from experts who specialize in Alzheimer's prevention and have a wealth of knowledge in the field. These speakers are all renowned in their respective areas of expertise, including neuroscience, geriatrics, risk factors, mental health, exercise, caregiving, meditation, and spirituality. They will provide cutting-edge insights on the latest research and evidence-based strategies for Alzheimer's prevention, with a special focus on lifestyle factors that are particularly relevant for women.

This conference is going to be revolutionary. I can't wait to see you there.

Yours in Brain Health,

Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.
