SPARK BIG IDEAS AT THE BRAIN HEALTH FUTURES SUMMIT.

The Brain Health Futures Summit connects visionary ideas with grounded, practical actions on chronic stress and the futures of brain health.

Join us to participate in landmark gathering of neuroscientists, health professionals, policymakers, researchers, designers, resilience practitioners, leadership experts and entrepreneurs for a day of bold conversations and catalytic collaborations on the future of brain health.

Join some of the worlds leading practitioners in brain health, community resilience, emerging neuro-technologies, stress management and the future of work. Together, we will share in a mix of inspirational keynote presentations and rich conversations as we connect visionary ideas with grounded, practical action.

Across three focused sessions, we’ll examine:

The Cognitive Economy :: Why brain capital is fast becoming a critical asset in national policy and investment strategy—and how cognitive health is being redefined as infrastructure for productivity, innovation, and resilience.
Community as Health Infrastructure :: How place, connection, and culture shape cognitive wellbeing—and how new models of public infrastructure, mental wealth, and creative communities are helping us design for collective resilience.
The High-Functioning Human :: What leadership requires in a cognitively demanding world, and how brain-based strategies are transforming how we lead, make decisions, manage stress, and care for ourselves and others.

From stress management and performance optimisation to brain-enhancing environments and future-of-work design, this is not just a conference - its a day to stretch minds, spark connections, and reimagine the cognitive infrastructure of our shared future - in conversation together

Connect with industry luminaries like Harris Eyre (Rice University and World Economic Forum), Burcin Ikiz (Founder of the International Neuro-climate Working Group), Jo-An Occapinti (Co-Director, Mental Wealth Initiative, University of Sydney) and Ben Hamley (Global Head of RnD and Partnerships at JLL), and many more.

In curating the Brain Health Futures Summit we are creating shared space that allows us to explore and consider the complexity, the tensions, and the high impact opportunities that emerge when new perspectives are brought to persistent challenges. We are excited to connect new audiences and ideas into the work of brain health, stress management, community resilience and workplace performance to evolve our understanding and engagement with brain health to create better futures for all.

The Brain Health Futures Summit is presented by Bonnie Shaw (Professor of Practice, RMIT University) and SHTF SHFT, with leadership and ongoing support from RMIT University, Local Peoples, and many more industry partners and practitioners. We can't wait to meet you in November!

We have revised ticket pricing to ensure that the event is more accessible. Please note that this event will no longer include catering.
