Berkshires Brain Summit 2026

A private summit series advancing the future of brain health, neurotechnology, neuroAI, psychiatry, autism, and neurodegeneration.

A New Format

The right people. In the same room.

Berkshires Brain Summit is a year-round series of intimate, high-trust gatherings designed to bring the right people into the same room: scientists, clinicians, technologists, founders, investors, philanthropists, patient advocates, and institutional leaders working on the most important questions in brain health.

Instead of a conventional conference, each summit is designed as a focused retreat — carefully curated participants, candid discussion, deep working sessions, shared meals, and meaningful connection in a private Berkshires setting.

01

Intimate by Design

Small, curated gatherings built for trust, depth, and real conversation.

02

Scientifically Serious

Focused on emerging science, translational medicine, responsible AI, and measurable impact.

03

Built for Action

Designed to help ideas move from discussion to collaboration, funding, pilots, partnerships, and care.

Why This Exists

The brain is the frontier of human health, identity, cognition, and technology.

Progress increasingly depends on collaboration across disciplines that do not always meet in the same room. Researchers need access to builders and funders. Founders need clinical and scientific context. Clinicians need better tools. Families and patients need faster translation of science into care.

Policymakers and institutions need thoughtful guidance on safety, ethics, and responsible deployment. Berkshires Brain Summit exists to close these gaps.

Join the Conversation

Curated. Private. By application.

Each summit brings together a small group of leaders. If your work aligns with the mission, we'd like to hear from you.
