The 16th International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases (AD/PD™ 2023) opened on March 28th in the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre with a welcome address by Her Majesty Queen Silvia of Sweden, who highlighted the importance of research in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and expressed her gratitude for the efforts of the scientific community to find effective treatments for these debilitating conditions.
This premier scientific meeting concluded on the 1st of April after five empowering days of presentations, workshops, and networking sessions. AD/PD™ 2023 brought together 4,120 participants from around the world – 3,289 onsite and 831 online – including leading scientists, clinicians, and industry representatives, to discuss the latest advances in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and related diseases.
AD/PD™ 2023 featured 1,019 talks (673 onsite and 346 by online participants), 112 symposia, eight industry symposia, seven plenary presentations and six forum discussions. The lectures covered a wide range of topics pertaining to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and related neurodegenerative diseases, encompassing genetics, biomarkers, cutting-edge technologies, clinical trials, and therapeutics.
Some of the key highlights of the Conference included:
- Advances in understanding the genetic and environmental factors that contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
- New developments in the use of biomarkers for early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
