The 11th CEAFA and 15th Alzheimer Iberoamerica conference was held from 5 to 8 November in Ibiza (Spain). The conference brought together more than 500 delegates under the slogan “Breaking down borders”. This conference, organised by the Spanish Alzheimer’s Confederation (CEAFA) together with the Alzheimer’s association from Ibiza and Formentera as its host, featured, once again, the participation of Her Majesty Queen Sofía, who is also Honorary President of CEAFA. Over the course of four days, there were some key topics discussed, such as scientific advances and new treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, social and health care and rights, prevention and active ageing, disease impact on carers, and international cooperation between different associations and experts in the fields. Alzheimer Europe was represented at the event by Public Involvement Officer Soraya Moradi-Bachiller, who joined a round table discussion about the situation of Alzheimer’s disease in the world. The roundtable also included representatives from Alzheimer’s Disease International and Alzheimer Iberoamerica. The conference concluded with the Ibiza Declaration, a call for political and social action to improve the quality of life of people with the disease and their families.
