A Dementia Friendsgiving

A Dementia Friendsgiving: Celebrate with DFA

Tuesday, November 18, 2025,  Main Event 11:00 AM ET – 3:00 PM ET,  After Party 3:10 PM ET – 4:00PM ET

Join Dementia Friendly America (DFA) for this “potluck” celebration of our lively and growing Dementia Friendly movement!
Let’s take this moment—together—to acknowledge how far we’ve come and rededicate ourselves to this important work. We’ll be sharing our gratitude for people and organizations from every corner of the dementia-friendly movement and sharing what’s to come for DFA.

There is so much in store! Our Dementia Friendsgiving will feature:

• Keynote Speaker Teepa Snow, a dementia care specialist, educator and advocate focused on supporting those living with dementia in a positive and respectful way.
• Dementia Friendly Showcase: Panels on starting or strengthening dementia-friendly communities, Dementia Friends programs, Memory Cafes and Giving Voice choirs.
• “Potluck” Celebration: An opportunity to share what’s meaningful to you.
• Lived Experience Panel: Hear what people living with dementia and care partners have to say about what makes a community dementia friendly.
• What’s Happening and What’s Next: State of the movement and what’s to come for DFA.
• Awards Ceremony: A celebration of DFA Communities, Memory Cafes, Dementia Friends Champions and movement leaders.
• New to the Movement? Become a Dementia Friend and learn how to get your community or organization involved.

Register Now! Everyone is welcome for this potluck celebration of the dementia-friendly movement! Whether you’re bringing a story, a friend, or your enthusiasm and curiosity, you’re an essential part of this movement.
