Berg Symposia
First convened in 1997, the Leonard Berg Symposium honors Knight ADRC founder and former director, Leonard Berg, MD. Held once every two years, the Symposium brings together health professionals, clinical and basic science researchers, and others to learn and discuss a timely topic related to Alzheimer's disease.
