  It is  with great pleasure that I extend my warmest greetings to 
everyone attending the 26th International Congress of Alzheimer’s Disease 
International (ADI). 

  “The Changing  Face of Dementia,” brings together medical 
professionals, researchers, family caregivers, individuals living with dementia and 
representatives of national Alzheimer associations. This congress offers delegates 
an opportunity to share their knowledge and expertise, and to examine strategies 
for slowing the progress of the disease and, ultimately, preventing its onset. 

  I  would like to commend the members of ADI and the Alzheimer 
Society of Canada for their efforts in putting together a varied and stimulating 
program. Delegates are sure to come away from this event with a greater 
understanding of the advances being made in the diagnosis, care and treatment of 
dementia.  

   Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable and productive 
meeting.  

The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P.

APERSONALMESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER
On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to extend
warm greetings to everyone attending the 26th International Congress
of Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI).
Those living with dementia face a complex illness that has serious
personal — and social — costs. As the international federation of over
70 national Alzheimer associations, ADI works tirelessly to improve the
lives of those living with Alzheimer’s and of their families. I commend
this fine organization for the crucial role it plays in educating people in
dementia, their families and the global public about dementia, and
supporting vital research initiatives.
This year’s conference, which draws inspiration from the theme “The
Changing Face of Dementia,” gives professionals in dementia care,
medical professionals, researchers, family caregivers and others the
opportunity to exchange information and ideas on ways to advance the
treatment and care of dementia. Ontario is proud to be chosen as the
location for this important international event.
To first-time or returning visitors to Toronto — I am pleased to
welcome you to the provincial capital. I hope you find the time to
enjoy some of the outstanding attractions and unique events the city
has to offer.
Please accept my best wishes for a highly successful conference.
Dalton McGuinty
Premier

Dear friends,
It is a delight and an honour, as Chairman of ADI, to welcome you to our 26th
annual International Conference, co-hosted with the Alzheimer Society of Canada
in the exciting and cosmopolitan city of Toronto.
The conference theme refl ects the current situation in the dementia fi eld, the face
of dementia is indeed changing. Advances in research are playing a key role in
this change. Researchers are now better able to give us an idea of the true scale
of the dementia epidemic to support our awareness-raising and advocacy efforts.
New, and often innovative, forms of treatment are frequently being discovered
and it is clear that there is a strong commitment to fi nding the causes of this
devastating illness and searching for effective ways for diagnosis to be made at
an earlier stage.
These developments are sure to assist all who are affected by dementia. Through
events such at this conference, we can all join together and share our thoughts
and fi ndings and each assist in making others more aware and better able to
improve the lives of people with dementia and their carers. I am sure everyone in
attendance will take away new information that will help them to continue their
work in the fi eld, in whatever capacity it may be.
Toronto is known for its international population and infl uences and I am sure
that this, and the array of informative sessions we have for you, will make for a
welcoming, enjoyable and interesting event and you will leave feeling enlightened
and with some happy memories.
I would like to thank the Alzheimer Society of Canada for their remarkable efforts
in helping us to organise this event. Their dedication is truly admirable and we
hope that this event will lead to some very positive developments in their work
and for people with dementia in Canada and around the world.

o Dear friends and colleagues,

Greetings from the Alzheimer Society of Canada and a warm welcome
to the City of Toronto for ADI 2011, the 26th Alzheimer’s Disease
International Conference.
As one of the four founding members of Alzheimer’s Disease International and as
the host of the 1993 conference, the Society is thrilled to see how the Association’s
membership has grown since its inception in 1984 and how the conference has
become an integral part of ADI in helping to disseminate the latest in Alzheimer’s
disease knowledge and research.
Many of you will be attending the conference perhaps for the fi rst time while others
of you will be returning to meet old friends and make new acquaintances. It’s a
wonderful opportunity to network with colleagues and friends from around the world.
We know you will all be in for a very productive and positive experience.
Over the years the strength of the conference has been in its ability to bring together
scientists, researchers, healthcare professionals, people with dementia and family
caregivers who all share the common purpose to improve the quality of life for
people with the disease and their families throughout the world.
And this conference The Changing Face of Dementia is no exception. Change,
however, requires an even greater emphasis on the importance of all disciplines and
people with Alzheimer’s disease and their families coming together to exchange
ideas, share recent advances and achievements in Alzheimer research as well as
innovative practices in the care of people with dementia.
A world without Alzheimer’s disease is the vision of the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
One day we hope to see that vision come to fruition for everyone around the globe.
Please take some time to enjoy and explore Toronto. The downtown venue for
the conference makes it easy for you to get around and explore the different
neighbourhoods, each with their own distinct personality.
Wishing you a productive and exciting conference.
Dale Goldhawk
Conference Chair,
Alzheimer Society of Canada
