Lausanne XI: Where Leaders Converge to End Alzheimer’s Disease

The 2024 Lausanne Workshop is the eleventh in a series of Lausanne-based annual Alzheimer’s convenings with a goal to stop Alzheimer’s. Over the past ten years, Lausanne has become a highly curated platform for global Alzheimer’s stakeholders to identify challenges, set solution paths, measure progress and hold each other accountable to act.

The Lausanne Workshop is organized under the auspices of the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) and supported by The Global CEO Initiative on Alzheimer’s Disease (CEOi), Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) and World Economic Forum (WEF).

This goal was reinforced at the First WHO Ministerial Conference on Global Action Against Dementia in 2015.
