Join us for the Seventh Annual Fall Symposium & Luncheon "Hope on the Horizon," hosted by Emmy Award-winning journalist Paula Zahn. At this year's luncheon, we are thrilled to honor philanthropist and President of Advance Publications, Inc., Donald E. Newhouse, for his commitment to dementia research. The morning symposium will feature Howard Fillit, MD, Founding Executive Director and Chief Science Officer of the ADDF, and a panel of leading scientists discussing the connections between Alzheimer's and other diseases such as frontotemporal dementia and Parkinson's and the drugs currently in clinical trials that hold promise for multiple diseases. 

All proceeds from Hope on the Horizon support the ADDF's mission to accelerate the discovery and development of drugs to prevent, treat, and cure Alzheimer’s and related diseases.
