What to expect in 2025

UK Dementia Congress 2025 will offer delegates, sponsors, and partners a unique platform to come together as a dementia community. Through our co-production approach, engaging keynote speakers, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities, we will tackle key challenges and focus on practical solutions. Our goal is for every attendee to leave UKDC2025 with valuable insights and actionable takeaways they can implement or use to drive meaningful change.
