SUMMARY:Caribbean Brain Health Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:Amagi Health is launching the Caribbean Brain Health Summit\, a week-long regional convening on brain health\, dementia and ageing\, based in Kingston\, Jamaica\, with activities across the Caribbean and its diaspora. \nThe summit marks the first year of a new regional initiative to put dementia\, ageing and brain health at the centre of Caribbean policy and practice. Rather than importing a model from elsewhere\, the aim is to surface and connect the work Caribbean people and organisations are already doing\, then build shared regional infrastructure to support it. \nIt’s deliberately broad. Alongside researchers and clinicians\, it brings in voices from business\, technology\, the creative sector\, civil society and communities\, including people living with dementia and carers managing care across islands and continents. Anchor activities will run in host countries and diaspora hubs\, supported by local organisations. \nWhy it matters for researchers\nThe Caribbean is ageing fast\, and it’s under-represented in global conversations about brain health and dementia. If your work touches on African Caribbean populations\, health inequalities or dementia risk reduction\, this is a chance to connect with the people building the region’s research and policy agenda from the ground up. \nThe summit is the public-facing start of the programme. A scientific meeting follows in Kingston in February 2027: the Population-Level Approaches to Dementia Risk Reduction (PLADRR) Meeting\, bringing together researchers\, clinicians and policymakers. It builds on the PLADRR meeting in Auckland in February 2025 and on the NIA and University of Michigan HCAP infrastructure\, with a focus on Caribbean and Caribbean diaspora researchers and early career researchers. There are opportunities there for UK-based researchers with existing Caribbean collaborations or diaspora-relevant work. \nGet involved\nRegister your interest on the summit website. Organisations that want to partner can complete the partner sign-up form and send their logo and digital assets to info@amagibrainhealth.org. \nFor the thinking behind the initiative\, Dr Ishtar Govia sets out the case in Caribbean360. \n\nClick Here
