The objectives of the conference are:
* to identify promising strategies and good practices on how to reach out to people with dementia and their carers and
* to enable their exchange between Member States
* to facilitate their exchange between associations and experts involved in care of people with dementia
* to draw conclusions summarizing the conference outcomes
