The dementia field must deliver innovations faster. At the same time, health systems, governments, and communities must be better prepared to rapidly adapt and deploy these innovations. The 2025 WDC Summit will challenge participants to think boldly and offer solutions to accelerate innovation and deliver breakthroughs to individuals, families and communities. 

  • 2025 WDC Summit programme

There will also be plenary sessions on ageing and health consumers. The full programme will be outlined later in the year but you can read an outline of the sessions here.
