GBHI Annual Conference 2026
Event Details
Important Update
Given the recent developments in the region, and with the safety and well‑being of our community in mind, the Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) Annual Conference will no longer take place in person in Istanbul, Türkiye in April. The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) Satellite Symposium, co‑hosted by GBHI, has also been cancelled.
GBHI Annual Conference
The GBHI Annual Conference is a cornerstone of the fellowship experience and an important forum for GBHI community members worldwide. Each year, the conference brings together diverse voices to explore new perspectives, foster connections, and advance brain health globally. This collaborative week features panel discussions, poster presentations, breakout sessions, and cultural performances by Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health, GBHI faculty and staff, and special guests.
Goals
Through these gatherings, we aim to provide forums for discussions of the latest findings and challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, to explore emerging dementia research in the region, and to facilitate global networks. The AAIC Satellite Symposium is also a key opportunity to present brain health and dementia-related work to a wide and diverse audience.
- Celebrate Partnerships and Regional Innovation: Highlight the power of collaboration among fellows, faculty, staff, and community partners while showcasing innovative brain health and dementia research from around the world.
- Foster Leadership and Global Networks: Support the development of fellows’ leadership skills and strengthen global connections, fostering sustained collaboration and collective action to advance brain health equity.
