Join us the evening before the conference for a one-of-a-kind film experience, created by ARTZ: Artists for Alzheimer'sŪ. Originally for people with memory loss and their care partners, the program is now designed for broader audiences. Short clips from classic films will be shown, followed by audience discussion and reminiscing, moderator guided. This program demonstrates how film has the power to connect us with our deep-rooted emotional memories - the kind that stay with us throughout our lives. (This program is for the community and professionals free of charge. Pre-registration required at http://artzanddementia.eventbrite.com).
