The society meets annually.
The venue rotates each year, with a three-day meeting in autumn that is organized by a volunteer group of MDRS members from the host locale.
MDRS was founded in 1988by Dr. Laird Cermak, then a Professor of Neurology in the School of Medicine at Boston University and Director of the Memory Disorders Research Center at the Boston Veterans Administration Medical Center. The inaugural meeting of MDRS was held in Boston the following year.
