Neuroscience 2026

Neuroscience 2026 is the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), the main international forum where neuroscientists present new research on the brain and nervous system. Faculty, postdoctoral researchers, students, clinicians and industry scientists gather in Washington, D.C., for five days of lectures, symposia, poster sessions and an exhibit hall, with a virtual registration option.

Who attends

Academic neuroscientists from basic to clinical research, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, educators, and scientists from neurotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. Registration categories cover members, postdocs, students and nonmembers, with reduced rates by country income level.
