Visionary leaders in neuroscience from the NIH, DOD, and philanthropy will speak about their vision for the future of neuroscience. They will listen to your ideas generated in breakout groups and attend our poster session in the afternoon. Your lab can showcase its work to them and our community. Make sure that your lab is well represented! You can sign up for as many slots as possible in the poster session and ensure you and your lab are registered. The important dates and preliminary program are outlined below. While registration is free, it is mandatory for attendance.
