Call for Presentations – UK Dementia Congress 2025

Submission Deadline: 23:59, 9th June

We look forward to welcoming everyone to the largest annual multi-disciplinary dementia-focused event and exhibition in the UK. The UK Dementia Congress has a long history of bringing together everyone involved in dementia care to learn, share and inspire each other with fresh energy and enthusiasm for our work.

We welcome proposals for presentations on all aspects of dementia care in all settings and from all the diverse perspectives of everyone involved, including: people living with dementia, care partners and family carers, health and social care practitioners and professionals, people working in the housing field, and the voluntary, community and social enterprise sectors, researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs.

We prioritise papers that include not only a detailed description but also an element of evaluation of a project or service. Your proposal should consider the factors contributing to success or failure, identify barriers to progress, assess how these challenges were overcome, and draw conclusions with lessons learned.

A variety of different presentation styles are welcome, including those that encourage audience participation.
