The premier event for brain aging. April 25th, 2026.

With NOVA, we believe advancing brain aging research requires more than isolated breakthroughs: it demands collaboration across disciplines, sectors, and generations.

As Boston’s premier brain aging conference, NOVA brings together leaders in biotechnology, academia, investment, policy, patient advocacy, and clinical care to confront one of the most urgent challenges in neuroscience.

At a critical inflection point for the field, we aim to catalyze bold ideas, foster meaningful connections, and empower the next generation of leaders. Through NOVA, we are reshaping how neuroscience approaches brain aging and accelerating the path toward effective treatments and cures.
