The EMDA Association Organizes and participates in dozens of events a year, starting with a single lecture, continuing with workshops and conferences on a variety of topics, and ending with the association's annual conference, which is the largest conference in Israel on the subject. dementia, Alzheimer's and cognitive decline.
