Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Korean Dementia Association (KDA), it is my great pleasure to cordially invite you to International Conference of the Korean Dementia Association (IC-KDA 2023), which will be held at the BEXCO Convention Center in Busan, Korea from 24-25 November 2023.
Hosted by the KDA, the IC-KDA is a renowned venue for research and development, and a catalyst for the advancement of domestic and foreign dementia research. We are excited to hold the conference for the third time following our successful events in 2019 and 2021. As the number of dementia patients continues to increase in our aging society, our organization and many other experts are striving to develop more advanced treatment strategies and policies. We are pleased to prepare for this conference, where we will gather with leading professionals from around the world to share our latest research and insights in the field of dementia.
The upcoming IC-KDA 2023 conference will provide a valuable platform to discuss the latest issues and developments in dementia research, as well as to explore new topics and establish networks among professionals in related fields. We have curated a rich scientific program over a 2-day period featuring insightful sessions by domestic and international speakers in the field of dementia. In addition to the rich academic program, we invite you to experience Busan, a vibrant and dynamic coastal city. Known for its stunning beaches, bustling markets, and delicious cuisine, Busan offers the perfect setting for our conference.
We hope that this conference will be an opportunity for you to gain new insights, exchange knowledge and engage with like-minded professionals. We appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you to Busan, Korea for this exciting event.
