The conference starts on October 25, 2026.

It takes place at Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle's Southport in Renton, Washington.

The organizer lists postdocs, scientists, and graduate attendees among the audience groups.

The program is expected to feature about 30 talks and two poster sessions.

Researchers outside evolutionary and comparative approaches, or those wanting a large exhibit-driven meeting, would get less from a 3.5 day forum organized by the Allen Institute with a narrow scientific focus.

Academic neuroscience meetings are usually casual, with jeans or chinos and a shirt or sweater. A jacket is sensible for a lakeside hotel in Renton in late October.
