Bringing WRAP collaborators together
Nov. 5, 2026
Virtual and In-Person in Madison, WI
The WRAP team invites researchers and scientists who have used WRAP data to join us for the inaugural WRAP+ Collaborator Conference. Since our first study visit in 2001, the WRAP study has grown into one of the world’s largest and longest-running studies of individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s disease. We invite collaborators from our work to join us and hear about future goals and how we can work together for the next 25 years. Major themes of this year’s conference:
- Timelines and trajectories of biomarker change
- Lifestyle impact on cognition
- Copathology
- Role of observational studies as prevention intervention becomes clinical practice
What is WRAP plus?
WRAP+ includes any researcher worldwide who uses WRAP data or resources. The WRAP+ collaborator conference is an opportunity to strengthen ties, network with each other, and build a group to engage in the future years.
