On 8-11 November (Gijón, Spain), the Confederación Española de Alzheimer y otras demencias (CEAFA), together with the Asociación Alzheimer Asturias as host, organised the tenth edition of the National Alzheimer Conference under the slogan “Integrating innovation”. The conference was conceived and designed as a participatory event. For this reason, it involved the participation, as speakers, of people with neurodegenerative diseases leading to dementia, carers, supporters, professionals from Spanish associations of relatives of people with Alzheimer's disease and representatives from industry and academia. During these four days, the speakers and the attendees addressed issues that have a direct impact on the care and support of people with dementia or people in the early stages of any neurodegenerative disease leading to dementia. The presentations also focused on the latest advances in dementia research, the current political situation and protection of people with dementia and their carers and supporters in Spain, and the experiences and good practices in care shared among healthcare professionals, family members, volunteers and people with dementia. Soraya Moradi-Bachiller represented Alzheimer Europe at this event and presented the 2020 Alzheimer Europe guide on intercultural dementia care for health and social care providers.
