Supporting Cognitive Health and Dementia Care Across the Lifespan
EXHIBITOR/SUPPORTER OPPORTUNITIES
November 5, 2026
Location: Cape Fear Botanical Gardens, 536 North Eastern Boulevard, Fayetteville, NC 28301
About the Event
Join internationally recognized dementia care expert Teepa Snow for an engaging and transformative conference designed to equip both caregivers and healthcare professionals with practical, evidence-based strategies to support individuals living with cognitive changes and dementia across the lifespan.
As the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias continues to rise, the need for compassionate, person-centered care has never been greater. This dynamic conference will provide participants with a deeper understanding of brain changes associated with dementia, effective communication techniques, approaches to managing challenging behaviors, and strategies that promote dignity, independence, and quality of life for individuals living with cognitive impairment.
Designed for family caregivers, friends, community members, faith-based caregivers, and healthcare professionals—including physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, psychologists, pharmacists, therapists, care managers, direct care staff, and other members of the healthcare team—this conference offers practical tools and real-world solutions that can be immediately applied in home, community, and clinical settings.
