The global stage for Neurotechnology, Brain Mapping, AI-driven therapeutics, military medicine, and advanced neuroscience innovation is about to open once again. From April 16–19, 2026, SBMT will host its 23rd Annual Neurotech Convention in Los Angeles, bringing together world leaders from every corner of the scientific and clinical ecosystem.

SBMT 2026 is projected to be one of the most significant gatherings in the history of the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics — not only because of the scale of attendees, but because of the urgent breakthroughs unfolding across medicine, engineering, mental health, space biology, neurotrauma, and computational neuroscience.

As the countdown officially begins, here is what the global community can expect from this year’s Congress.

A Global Convergence of Neurotech Innovation

 

SBMT 2026 will unite clinicians, scientists, industry leaders, engineers, policy makers, federal agencies, global health organizations, and frontier innovators. The convention’s mission remains clear: to accelerate real-world solutions that improve brain health across civilian, military, and underserved populations.

The 2026 program will highlight advances in:

• Brain mapping and multimodal imaging

• AI-driven diagnostics and clinical decision support

• VR/AR-based trauma therapies

• Biomarkers for TBI, neurodegeneration, and aging

• Neuroprosthetics and brain–machine interfaces

• Precision therapeutics and novel therapeutics

• Neuroinflammation, neuro-oncology, and regenerative medicine

• Global equity, accessibility, and policy frameworks

This is where collaborations begin, technologies launch, and ideas turn into clinical impact.

Why SBMT 2026 Is a Must-Attend Event

 

Every year, SBMT serves as a catalyst for interdisciplinary breakthroughs. It is one of the few venues where neurosurgeons, neurologists, psychologists, military health leaders, engineers, AI researchers, biomedical companies, and policymakers learn from each other on the same platform.

Attendees can expect:

• Exclusive scientific presentations and clinical results

• Live demonstrations of next-generation neurotech

• Cross-sector collaboration between academia, industry, and government

• Leadership from NASA, DoD, NIH, NSF, FDA, and global partners

• Networking opportunities with thousands of innovators

• Panels addressing ethics, policy, and global brain health strategy

In 2026, the focus sharpens further: accelerating technologies that save lives, expand access, and improve neurological outcomes worldwide.

A Year of Breakthrough Announcements

 

The upcoming program includes new data on trauma therapies, novel biomarkers, AI-powered predictive models, virtual reality platforms for clinical care, and emerging neuroprosthetic systems.

Over the coming weeks, SBMT will release exclusive previews of each major scientific track in a series titled “Road to SBMT 2026.”
Each entry will spotlight a breakthrough topic, the leading experts involved, and what attendees can expect to learn in Los Angeles.

The countdown has begun — and the world is watching.
