Kathryn Mannix and Allen Power announced as plenary speakers at #IDC2026
From International Dementia Conference 2026:
We're excited to announce our first plenary speakers for the International Dementia Conference 2026, to be held 4-5 June 2026 at the Hilton, Sydney.
Dr Kathryn Mannix spent 30 years as a palliative care doctor and cognitive behaviour therapist before turning her attention to improving public understanding of dying. She lives with her husband and a small flock of chickens in the north-east of England. She laughs a lot. She is easily moved to tears by the extraordinary wonder of everyday life. And she’s not afraid of dying.
Dr Allen Power is an internist, geriatrician, and Schlegel Chair in Aging and Dementia Innovation at the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging in Ontario, Canada. He’s a vocal critic of the over-prescription of antipsychotic medications for people with dementia and advocates for alternative, person-centred approaches to care. And in his spare time, he’s a singer/songwriter.
