We are delighted to announce that registration is now open for AAIC Neuroscience Next 2026 — the free, global hybrid conference uniting dementia and neuroscience researchers worldwide.
This year’s conference runs 23-26 February 2026, and is structured in a “hub” format: participants can join the core scientific programme virtually from anywhere, and engage locally through in-person hubs around the world.
As the UK Hub, Manchester will host a full day in person on Thursday 26 February 2026, at King’s House Conference Centre, Manchester (this is immediatley following the Alzheimer’s Research UK Conference also taking place in Manchester – allowing you to enjoy both events)

- Cognitive assessments
- Physiological & behavioural biomarkers
- Neuroimaging
- Fluid biomarkers (via livestream)
- Technology biomarkers
Invited plenary speakers confirmed so far include:
- Professor Masud Husain, University of Oxford (Cognitive assessment)
- Dr Francesca Cormack, Cambridge Cognition (Physiological and Behavioural Biomarkers)
- Professor David Cash, University College London (Neuroimaging)
