We are delighted to welcome you to a very special publication about the 33rd Alzheimer Europe Conference (33AEC) which took place from 16 to 18 October 2023, in Helsinki, Finland as well as online. If you were at the conference, we hope you enjoy looking back at some of the highlights from the event. If you were unable to join us in Helsinki (or online), we hope that this publication gives you a real flavour of our conference and encourages you to join us for a future event.
The publication includes a “Warmup” section, where you will find coverage of a number of important pre-conference meetings. We then take a look at all of the conference plenary sessions. On top of coverage of the ancillary meetings and plenary sessions in Helsinki, we are pleased to share some other aspects of the event, including: a special symposium presenting the work of ten early-stage researchers, who were selected by our jury to benefit from attendance bursaries provided by the Alzheimer Europe Foundation; a special award ceremony for the winners of our 2023 Anti-Stigma Award, held during the Networking Dinner; some thoughts from our conference co-hosts, the Alzheimer Society of Finland (Muistiliitto), about the conference and about some of the sessions they organised; some highlights from social media; and a few facts and figures surrounding the event. We include many photos from the event throughout the publication including, among others, shots of the many and varied poster presentations, and of the Networking Dinner held at Helsinki’s beautiful “Old Student House”.
This was published as a supplement to Dementia in Europe magazine, issue 44 (February 2024). You can also find the magazine, here: https://www.alzheimer-europe.org/resources/publications/dementia-europe-magazine-issue-44
