The full event agenda is now available: Let's Talk Dementia Event Agenda
A one stop event to learn more about dementia.
Whether you are living with dementia, caring for a loved one, or keen to learn more about a condition that affects one in two people, this event will have something for you.
There will be dementia specialists giving short talks and workshops, exhibitors and interactive sessions for people living with dementia.
Meet the experts, have your pressing questions answered in a friendly setting and spend time with families like yours.
You will leave Let’s Talk Dementia armed with knowledge and new ideas about how best to support your loved ones, and yourself.
The Watershed is a fully accessible venue, which includes hearing loops for talks, lifts and accessible toilets.
This event is taking place in Dementia Action Week, which is happening May 13th - 19th, a chance for people from all walks of life to learn more about dementia, research and the support available.
BRACE Dementia Research funds world-class clinical and laboratory research into dementia to find better treatments, achieve earlier diagnosis and hopefully, one day, a cure. Together, we will defeat dementia.
Bristol Dementia Action Alliance educates the communities of Bristol about dementia and supports those living with dementia and their loved ones through activity groups. BDAA provides free dementia awareness sessions for businesses, organisations and groups and recognizes those who are striving to make Bristol a dementia aware city through its annual BDAA Awards.
