Next Edition: (COMING SOON) 2026 • Santiago de Compostela
It’s much more than a conference.
Walking the Talk for Dementia (WTD) is an immersive, week-long event that brings together people living with dementia, care partners, researchers, clinicians, artists, policy leaders, innovators, and advocates from around the world.
Over four days, we walk side by side for 40 kilometers along one of history's most iconic pilgrimages - the Spanish Camino de Santiago. Along the way, we share stories and knowledge, expand personal and professional perspectives across disciplines and cultures, and collectively challenge the stigma surrounding dementia through lived experience, connection, and purpose.
Then, it's time to come together for another two days for the WTD Symposium: An invitation to reflect, connect, share resources, and turn momentum into action through meaningful collaborations.

If you're someone who believes real change comes not only from the right answers, but from better questions, you're in the right place.
WTD is for people who care for, research, study, work with, create art about, or live with dementia, and who are willing to question how things could be different.
