Not yet history -- Eastern Washington Virtual Alzheimer’s & Dementia Conference

Now that the dementia-friendly conference, my Community Engagement Series talk, and the Walk to End Alzheimer's are behind me, the next focus is on the Eastern Washington Alzheimer's and Dementia Conference.  For the second year in a row, I am on the planning committee, but with a lesser role compared to the other events.  Last year, I was the event photographer, which went OK.

The conference is scheduled for October 29, and registration is now open.

This is a big event each year for this side of the state (the desert area east side of the Cascade Mountains), but the virtual approach is, of course, new.  But virtual conferencing seems to be working out in other venues with sometimes significantly increased participation.

The Eastern Washington conference focuses on the needs of both caregivers and medical professionals.
