On 14 June 2022, Alzheimer Europe hosted a Company Round Table meeting in Brussels. The meeting was a hybrid event, with many participants attending in person and some joining remotely. It was attended by a total of 43 delegates, including eight company representatives (from Alnylam, Biogen, Grifols, Lilly, Nutricia, Roche and TauRx), 11 members of the Alzheimer Europe staff, Alzheimer Europe Chairperson Iva Holmerová, who hosted the meeting, Chris Roberts, Chairperson of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD) and his wife and supporter Jayne Goodrick, members of the Alzheimer Europe Board and representatives from 19 member organisations of Alzheimer Europe. The speakers at the event were: Cindy Birck, Project Officer, who discussed recent clinical trial developments and gave an update on our Clinical Trials Watch; Owen Miller, Policy Officer, who shared some recent Policy developments at WHO and EU level; Dianne Gove, Director for Projects, who presented on Public Involvement in dementia research; and Jean Georges, Executive Director, who informed participants about Alzheimer Europe’s activities in 2022 and 2023, including 2023 Sponsorship Opportunities. We would like to thank our sponsors and members for participating in this meeting and we look forward to welcoming them to the next Company Round Table meeting, on 27 September 2022.
