Welcome
Dear Knowledge Network Members,
The 2021 Rural Dementia Summit was another adventure in virtual meetings. It was a steep learning curve last year but we were able to use that experience this year. The evaluations last year showed that many participants enjoyed the flexibility and accessibility of the virtual format so we had less anxiety about going virtual again this year. Thank you to everyone who contributed posters and presentations, who participated in the event, and who helped with the planning.
The Summit started 14 years ago as the RaDAR team’s strategy to engage face-to-face with people who share an interest in improving the quality of care and quality of life of people with dementia and their caregivers, who could provide direction to the RaDAR research program. This is still an important goal but over time the Summit has also come to serve as a community of practice and a hub for sharing dementia research and innovations taking place in Saskatchewan, other parts of Canada, and internationally.
This year our keynote speaker Dr. Fiona Marshall, from the UK, talked about farm-based care for individuals living with dementia. This alternative approach to day programs has been operating in Europe and the UK for many years, but is just beginning to happen in Canada. Her excellent presentation, which includes a brief video of a care farm, is available to view on the online Summit Session archive. Although the main focus of Summit is to highlight Saskatchewan-based research and programs, we also want to feature innovations taking place elsewhere. This year’s sessions included four other presentations by UK researchers (Eamon O'Shea, Ben Hicks, Andy Hyde, and Gosia Raczek), a presentation from the ACTS 2 Team in the USA, as well as diverse presentations from other parts of Canada. Two presentations were made by individuals living with dementia (Larry L., and Christine Thelker). We hope that everyone found something of interest in the program.
Thank you to everyone for making time to participate in the Summit and to complete the evaluation. We appreciate the very thoughtful and helpful feedback that you provided and will do our best to incorporate your recommendations in future Summits. The RaDAR team is excited to be able to bring people together to exchange knowledge and experiences, and work together to improve quality of life for people living with dementia and their families. Your engagement in the Summit makes this possible. We hope to see you again next year!

Bilokreli Family Support
Ongoing funding support for RaDAR via the Bilokreli Family Trust Fund has allowed the team to continue hosting Summit annually. The Summit helps to maintain a community of practice focused on rural dementia care anchored here in our province.
We appreciate the support the Bilokreli Family has provided to the RaDAR team since 2015, and their commitment to supporting dementia care in rural and remote communities. We are pleased to offer the Summit Student poster prizes in their name each year.
Poster Presentations
The online poster presentations were available a day in advance - on November 1 - to allow ample time for registered attendees to view the posters and interact with the presenters.
Below is an archive of the 23 Summit Poster presentations that were shared -- some presenters have chosen not to share the full content of their posters online. Email contact information is available for the presenters in case you would like to get in touch.

Summit Session Presentations
The Summit began on November 2nd and all pre-recorded content was immediately available to attendees to view at any time. An agenda with suggested viewing order and times helped to organize the content. This mostly asynchronous delivery method was chosen to allow guests from other time zones, or with limited bandwidth, to watch and re-watch presentations at times convenient to them. Interaction with each presentation was through an embedded chat panel beside the presentation where attendees and the presenter could share comments and ask and answer questions.
The keynote presentation by Dr. Fiona Marshall, and some other sessions, were delivered live via Zoom Webinar and included a live Q&A session with the presenter. These live sessions were recorded to share for those unable to attend. As well, Dr. Allison Cammer led an interactive session with three live concurrent group discussions which attendees could join to share their feedback on developing areas of research in nutrition and dementia care.
Provided below the Summit 2021 agenda here are a stack of tabs with content from most of the Summit Session Presentations which were originally shared over the two days.

Event Evaluation
Attendees could rate and provide feedback on each session as they attended. This information was anonymized and shared back with individual session presenters.
All Summit attendees were encouraged to complete a post-event evaluation of their entire Summit experience, with an incentive prize drawn from all who completed the survey.
The 2021 incentive draw winners were Chantelle E. and Kathy S. who each received a $50 Visa gift card.
The Summit 2021 online platform recorded that of the 159 initial registrants, 129 attendees logged in to attend this year. 
Eighty-six attendees completed the post-event Evaluation Survey. We're happy to share a summary of what we learned from the survey.
-Attendees represented a wide variety of backgrounds: the role that each attendee self-declared on the evaluation are shown to the right. Note that attendees could choose multiple roles, and therefore the sum of roles in this chart exceed the number of attendees.
-Summit 2021 hosted new and returning folks: 33% of attendees were first-time Summit participants, 67% had been to at least one previous Summit.
-Attendees rated the Poster Session favourably, on a number of measures:
-Attendees reported high levels of satisfaction with other aspects of the online Sessions and meeting format:
The evaluation also included open-ended questions about attendees experiences of the event.
Echoing what heard from 2020, in the feedback received this year attendees reported appreciating the online format of the Poster Sessions. While it was noted that the virtual format lacked the oportunity for face-to-face discussion, overall the online format was given praise for participant's ability to spend as much time as needed to review poster content, and interact with the presenters via the chat panel. The short video poster presentation recorded by the presenter of each Poster Session was very much appreciated, and it has been suggested that RaDAR consider incorporating this format at future, in-person events.
About the Summit event overall we heard positive feedback:
- the flexibility to participate from home/office as able, without need to travel or incur additional expenses like hotel or meals costs
- the technology worked well, and the site was well organized with good communication between Summit organizers and attendees
- appreciated the safety of the on-line format being offered again, during continuing COVID-19 pandemic
We also heard some feedback about how we could improve, or about what was missing from Summit this year:
- lack of personal face-to-face interaction with others
- an online-only event, for some, didn't provide the immersive environment that an in-person event would: too easy to be distracted by other work/life interuptions while trying to attend from a computer
- on-line platform is difficult to navigate for people living with dementia
The RaDAR team uses the feedback we receive from the Summit evaluation survey to help us plan for the next Summit, and to better-deliver other on-line events.
Credit for survey response charts adapted for this page belongs to RaDAR team member Valerie Elliot.
We're pleased to share some quotes from attendees with you, direct from the evaluation survey feedback:
"Thank you for organizing the conference and for all of the technical support provided to make presenting and attending a wonderful experience!"
"I really liked the pre-recorded sessions because it provided a lot of time flexibility which allowed me to maximize my learning. I also really enjoyed the live discussion groups over zoom, I found that this was a great way to connect and brainstorm with other attendees."
[commenting on the Poster Session] "These presentations reach a wide range of people who otherwise would not be aware of most of it. It was great to see a lens turned toward LTC facilities as perhaps it will enable change for staff, clients and families."
"I loved the presentations that went along with the poster sessions. In live events, you read the info, but often don't take time to ask or learn further. This was a really excellent piece. "
"I love how the posters evolve each year. This year there were plenty that delved into the day to day challenges that people with dementia and caregivers face such as transport, long term care, nutrition "
"An eye opening experience of how much interest there is in Dementia and dementia care. Often feels like there is nothing available for folks in the north, or in remote rural communities. "
"International perspective and focus on rurality and dementia. A very warm supportive environment with delegates genuinely wanting to make a difference. "
[commenting on what the Summit provides] "An annual rural dementia hub with a range of stakeholders (policymakers, practitioners, researchers, people with dementia, etc.) where we can all come together to learn, share ideas, and develop innovations for moving forward to improve QoL for people with dementia and their care partners."
"It provides a unique opportunity to connect with a range of stakeholders - the Summit retains a very "personal" feel - even as a virtual event - which I appreciate. Very good quality research, posters, and presentations."
" . . . I feel that I have tools that I have gained that I will implement into my primary care practice routinely. Namely discussing nutrition with my dementia patients, and also continuing to look for ways we can provide services to my rural dementia patients."
"I learned about a few new services available in Saskatchewan and made contact with service providers that I will continue to use in my work. Increased my knowledge about dementia and dementia care. I will be reaching out to a few presenters to obtain copies of resources that I believe I will use when working with clients."
"New ideas and innovations for moving forward with my research as I transition towards an academic career."
"I think I am getting used to online conferences/learning ... I may even prefer ... definitely decreases carbon footprint . . . enjoy the flexibility of pre-recorded sessions, reviewing posters on my own."
"The chance to connect with national and international researchers on rural dementia. The chance to learn more about research I had not thought about before and to make connections (for example, that by designing for people with dementia there can be downstream positive effects for people with other disablities)."
"Easy to attend flexibly (e.g., can catch up a few emails here and there vs. committing fully). Great way to review poster presentations. Great way to hear more international voices . . . Reduced need to try to clear a workday to attend since there is some flexibility in timing"
Summit Games Prizes
To encourage online networking between participants, and to increase engagement with the Summit content, we included two rounds of Summit Games over the two days. Attendees could earn points for finding clues within the online platform and session content, and could earn points for participating in the discussion forums and the session-specific chat panels.
Competition between participants was high this year, and Tuesday's top three participants proved to be strong players on Wednesday as well!
The winners of the Tuesday Summit games were:
| 1st Place | 2nd Place | 3rd Place |

Summit Attendees Map
During the registration process, we asked attendees if we could pin their location on a world map which was shared on the online platform. It was wonderful to see the variety of the locations from which attendees were joining.
