In 2010, Bateman organized the Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer’s Disease Forum, a patient and family advocacy group, and then launched world-wide meetings for family members (DIAN family conferences) which have grown into annual meetings with more than 200 family members attending from most continents. The DIAN Expanded Registry is the portal for families with dominantly inherited Alzheimer’s disease to become connected to the DIAN studies and other families around the world.
