The Alzheimer\u2019s Association International Conference is the largest and most influential international meeting dedicated to advancing dementia science. Each year, AAIC convenes the world\u2019s leading basic science and clinical researchers, next-generation investigators, clinicians and the care research community to share research discoveries that\u2019ll lead to methods of prevention and treatment and improvements in the diagnosis of Alzheimer\u2019s disease. This year, the conference took place from 31st July to 4th August as a hybrid event (online and in San Diego, US) and attracted over 10,000 attendees.<\/p>\n
