Patient and Care Partner Track: The conference also features a Patient and Care Partner Track, a two-day educational conference occurring alongside the scientific conference. This track is tailored to families, care partners, interested professionals, and those living with Lewy body dementia. See the Patient and Care Partner Track page for additional information.
