Welcome to the official website of the 5th Canadian Conference on Dementia!
The Canadian Conference on Dementia (CCD) is returning to Toronto in 2009 with the most exciting and dynamic program ever! Please join us on Oct. 1-3 at the Toronto Westin Harbour Castle Hotel for two-and-a-half jam-packed days of exceptional learning opportunities while spending time with friends and colleagues in the internationally renowned and culturally diverse city of Toronto. The 5th CCD brings together a group of national and international scholars to share clinically relevant, cutting-edge developments in dementia research. The conference will open with two keynote presentations by Dr. Margaret Lock (McGill University) and Dr. Mary Ganguli (University of Pittsburgh), followed by the presentation of I'm Still Here, a powerful research-based play illustrating the perspective of persons living with dementia and their family partners in care. In addition to a number of large plenary sessions delivered by speakers such as Dr. Dennis Dickson (Mayo Clinic), Dr. Steve DeKosky (University of Virginia ), Dr. Kenneth Rockwood (Dalhousie University), Dr. Pierre Tariot (Banner Alzheimer’s Institute), and Dr. Peter St. George-Hyslop (University of Toronto), the program will also include two rousing debates on controversial topics: screening for dementia, and the proposed changes to the diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s disease. The program boasts a plethora of new, eclectic, and interactive workshops, as well as poster presentations and roundtables. As usual, the conference will conclude with clinicopathological vignettes – a true opportunity to test the knowledge you’ve gained from the conference with real time cases. Finally, the 5th CCD organizing committee is pleased to invite you to join us for a dinner reception at the CN Tower, giving you an opportunity to network with your friends while dining in the sky. Don’t be left out! We’re anticipating record-breaking attendance, so be sure to register early to guarantee your place and to benefit from the reduced rate. We look forward to seeing you in Toronto!
