Save the Date: SharpBrains Summit, Technology for Cognitive Health and Performance

October 19, 2009 by Alvaro Fernandez

We are very excit­ed to announce the first Sharp­Brains Sum­mit, a vir­tu­al con­fer­ence to take place Jan­u­ary 18–20th, 2010.  Over 30 lead­ing speak­ers and a pro­fes­sion­al audi­ence will dis­cuss emerg­ing inno­va­tion and tech­nol­o­gy for life­long cog­ni­tive health and per­for­mance. The Sum­mit will high­light the con­ver­gence of neu­rocog­ni­tive research, non-inva­sive tech­nol­o­gy and health­care, dis­cuss emerg­ing best prac­tices, and help pre­dict how a grow­ing range of tools may pro­vide solu­tions to cog­ni­tive health and per­for­mance-relat­ed issues.

For Whom: health­care, high-tech, insur­ance, research, pol­i­cy, deci­sion-mak­ers and prac­ti­tion­ers, worldwide.

How: we’ll use online tools for webi­na­rs, dis­cus­sions, net­work­ing, and have social gath­er­ings in cities with enough crit­i­cal mass. We want to repli­cate the “con­fer­ence expe­ri­ence” as much as pos­si­ble with­out hav­ing peo­ple trav­el from all over the place to one city and hotel.
