World Alzheimer's Day

World Alzheimer’s Day takes place during World Alzheimer’s Month and is on 21 September every year. 

This year, Alzheimer's Disease International's (ADI) campaign will seek to tackle the persistent stigma and discrimination surrounding dementia by shining a spotlight on the timely and important issue of early diagnosis under the theme: The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters. 

Each World Alzheimer’s Day, ADI also releases its annual World Alzheimer Report. Like this year’s campaign theme, the 2026 report will focus on clinical trials.
