Brain health holds the key to our individual and collective futures.

BrainTech 2026 convenes the people shaping the future of brain and mental health.

Discover how technology is transforming brain and mental health at BrainTech 2026.

BrainTech is both a window and a lever for our brains — helping us better understand how the brain works, and improving how we prevent, diagnose and treat life-altering conditions.

BrainTech 2026 brings together leading brain researchers, innovators and curious minds for a day of bold ideas, breakthrough thinking and meaningful collaboration. It is designed to build on Australia’s strengths in research, support a growing ecosystem, and make it easier for people to meet, work and learn with each other.
