Submitting an Abstract
A Scientific Program Committee (SPC) is organized for each AAIC and includes international experts in a variety of topic areas who are committed to developing the most relevant and innovative content for the conference. The SPC determines the invited program and selects the submitted portion of the program.
Why you should share your work: AAIC offers unparalleled exposure for your research across the field. Submit your abstract or session proposal for the opportunity to feature your work among more than 800 podium presentations and 4,000 posters on the latest dementia research. Opportunities to present in person and online are available.
