Welcome Message from the President of the Korean Dementia Association (KDA)
Dear Colleagues, Friends, and Esteemed Guests,
I am very pleased and honored to host the 19th International Congress of the Asian Society Against Dementia (ASAD) & International Conference of the Korean Dementia Association (IC-KDA) 2025 in Seoul in 2025, a year in which Korea will enter a super-aged society. The conference will take place from May 8th to 10th, 2025, at the Lotte Hotel World in Seoul, South Korea. On May 8th, 2025, a Pre-Conference Symposium titled "Dementia Treatment Update: Lecanemab and NPH" will take place, followed by the Main Conference on May 9th and 10th under the theme "Breaking Barriers of Dementia: From Research to Real-world Practice".
This gathering will serve as a crucial platform for sharing innovative research, clinical practices, and interdisciplinary approaches that align with the evolving landscape of dementia care. Furthermore, this conference represents a significant milestone in our collective journey to address the challenges posed by dementia. It is a unique opportunity for us to come together, share our knowledge, and push the boundaries of research and care for those affected by this condition.
Your contributions, whether through presentations, discussions, or networking, are vital to the success of this conference. We encourage you to share your insights and experiences, enriching the dialogue that will drive forward our collective mission to combat dementia across Asia and beyond.
Seoul, a city that beautifully marries tradition with innovation, is the perfect backdrop for this event. I hope you will take the time to explore its rich cultural heritage and modern advancements, all while forging new collaborations and friendships that will last long after the conference ends.
Together, let us embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in dementia research and care, with a shared commitment to advancing precision medicine for the benefit of all those affected by this condition.
On behalf of the KDA, I eagerly anticipate welcoming you to Seoul and witnessing the remarkable contributions that will undoubtedly emerge from IC-KDA & ASAD 2025.
