The first annual conference is poised to achieve something that has never been done before by hosting a comprehensive symposium on neurotechnology along the West Coast, specifically tailored to college students. Our primary goal is to establish a dynamic community of neurotechnology enthusiasts, fostering seamless collaboration among academic institutions, student organizations, research laboratories, and industry partners. Through this event, we aim to propel the neurotech field forward, leveraging the power of collaboration and a holistic approach to research and development.
Academic guest speakers will present on their lab’s projects and the current state of their area of research.
An industry panel Q&A will give participants an opportunity to ask questions to a panel of experts currently developing neurotechnology products.
A competition between student clubs from attending schools will be held. Each school will present one project with a live demonstration. A panel of judges (industry and academic experts) will determine the winner.
Participants can meet and network during a research poster session by B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. students, facilitating a sense of community by allowing students, professors, and industry leaders to exchange ideas.
