Sydney Neurotech Meetup: Neuralink and the Future of Brain Interfacing

The Sydney Neurotech Meetup is a casual evening of conversation with Sydney's truly impressive collection of neurotech startups, researchers, investors and collaborators.

Join us at 6pm on Tuesday the 25th of February for a conversation about Neuralink and the future of brain interfacing.

The upcoming meetup we are excited to be bringing a special guest from one of the most talked about companies in the history of neurotech. Neuralink are industry trailblazers shaping up to be one of the most influential companies of the decade, pursuing their vision of the future in which brain computer interfaces can be easily implanted to restore critical function in people with severe disabilities – and possibly one day to augment function in healthy individuals. For our next event, Luke Gordon will be joining us to discuss his career journey to Neuralink, the research the company is leading and what the future has in store for us.
