From 13-18 October 2007, the Lewy Body Society had a booth at the International Psychogeriatric Association’s conference in Osaka, Japan. Twenty five hundred delegates from around the world attended the IPA’s silver jubilee congress and a good number of them visited our display to learn about the LBS and sign up to join us or form DLB organisations in their own countries. We were the only charity exhibiting at the congress and made a terrific impact.

The Lewy Body Society was well represented on the Congress’ scientific programme. President Ian McKeith and MSAP members John O’Brien and Jane Byrne, who is also on the management committee, all made presentations to packed sessions. There was special session on DLB chaired by Prof McKeith.

Here are some pictures from the congress.
