Living with Lewy

Online Registration Form

The experience of people living with Lewy body dementia is so important to both the research agenda and to improving clinical practice. The conference will have a distinct strand that is aimed at people living with LBD and their families and carers, and you will be supported to attend and participate, either in person or virtually. 

If you are a person living with Lewy body dementia or a carer and are considering attending the conference, these are the benefits that you will experience:

  • Hear the latest research developments and the progress we are making in diagnosing and managing Lewy body dementia, and find out how you can participate in research.
  • Have the opportunity to meet and network with other people living with dementia and their carers, who will understand what you are going through.
  • Hear inspirational speakers who can help you build resilience and maintain positivity as you live with the impact of Lewy body dementia. 

An international organising committee, led by The Lewy Body Society, is working together to design the Living with Lewy strand of the event, and to ensure that the voices of people living with LBD and carers is integrated as part of the main agenda.
