Welcome Message

On behalf of the International Society for Frontotemporal Dementias (ISFTD), I am delighted to invite you to Philadelphia for the 15th International Conference on Frontotemporal Dementias (ICFTD) between 8 and 11 October 2026.

A biennial event, ICFTD is the only international conference dedicated fully to frontotemporal dementia and related brain conditions. It combines a scientific program spanning basic science, genetics, neuroimaging, clinical and translational research, together with an integrated program dedicated to families living with frontotemporal dementia and their caregivers.

Supported by a dynamic local organising committee, this will herald the return of ICFTD to North America for the first time since 2014. We are proud and excited to host you in Philadelphia. Philly is part of the early history of the United States of America, being its first capital, location of its first hospital in 1751, and home of historical and iconic landmarks such as the Liberty Bell, the University of Pennsylvania founded in 1749 by Benjamin Franklin and the Philadelphia Art Museum.

We look forward to welcoming you to Philadelphia.
