Distrupt Dementia Symposium

On May 12th, 2026, WIN was delighted to co-host the Distrupt Dementia Symposium with the Alzheimers Society Southwest Partners, Western Centre for Activity and Aging, and City of London. The event featured community, industry, and academic speakers from WeCanBe, Green Care Farms Inc, Indwell, McCormick Care Foundation, and more who discussed how we can navigate a system not built for caregivers, incorporate needs and preferences into housing options for those with dementia, on developing organizational strategies to creating lasting, scalable care systems, and on how to thoughtfully incorporate diverse communities and their needs into dementia care networks. Thank you to all those who attended, and for Goodwill Industries for hosting.
