Each year, AFTD's Education Conference brings together people living with FTD, care partners, families, friends, researchers, and clinicians.
Hear from Past Attendees:
Crystal Keene & Marc Olson
“It was really, really important for me to meet others in the same position. There are a lot of us, and I really wanted to meet others with the same type of FTD, just be able to talk with them and have that connection and the feeling that they know exactly what I’m going through.”
- Crystal, who is living with PPA
“The Education Conference is probably the most important thing we’ve done since Crystal’s diagnosis.”
- Marc, reflecting on their experience as first-time attendees
