8 ICC 1 0 MEETING Blue Mountains, NSW Australia 2 5 & 6 September 2018 8 ICC 1 0 MEETING Blue Mountains, NSW Australia 2 5 & 6 September 2018 It gives me great pleasure to confirm that the 2018 ICC Meeting is to INVITATION be held in Australia over two days, 5 & 6 September. This meeting will be held not in a blue zone but in the Blue Mountains – one of New South Wales’ picturesque national parks just two hours from Sydney. My hope is that many of you will be inspired to join us at this meeting to further spearhead an international effort to promote successful ageing. It is an exciting time to be exploring the factors involved in dementia and longevity and I look forward in hope to our collaboration in uncovering the underlying mechanisms of successful brain and body ageing, and possibly ways of prolonging the healthy life span and delaying the onset of the common dementias. Scientia Professor Perminder Sachdev, Conference Convenor Co-Director, Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing (CHeBA) Clinical Director, Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) Longevity beyond 100 can no longer be considered exceptional. MEETING This conference will examine this demographic change and its OVERVIEW impact on society. It will ask the questions: can extreme longevity be achieved with good body and brain health? Do we understand why some individuals retain good health until a very late age whereas others succumb to noncommunicable diseases earlier? The focus of the conference will be on brain health and its determinants well into late life, and the centenarian as a living model of this.
