Description: At the Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia EPLED Up Close: “Ask Me Anything!” session, attendees will have the chance to talk informally to EPLED Advisory Group members and, together, share experiences of dementia and research. Attendees will be paired with an EPLED Advisory Group member for brief, timed conversations; EPLED members will introduce themselves and, if needed, cue cards will be provided to inspire dialogue. The session aims to create opportunities to focus on human stories of dementia and research. These experiences are intended to strengthen knowledge and understanding of lived experiences, foster research partnerships and transform the next generation of researchers.
