About this Event

Be part of history at Canada’s first-ever Women’s Brain Health Summit — a bold and inspiring gathering dedicated to transforming the future of women’s cognitive well-being.

This landmark event brings together leading scientists, healthcare innovators, caregivers, and changemakers to spotlight the latest breakthroughs in brain health, dementia prevention, and caregiving support — all through the lens of women’s unique experiences and needs.

Get inspired. Get informed. Get connected.
Experience an unforgettable mix of compelling keynote talks, fireside chats, live performances, interactive Q&A sessions, and vibrant networking — all designed to turn cutting-edge research into meaningful, everyday action.

Walk away with practical strategies to protect your brain health, recognize early signs of cognitive decline, and advocate for yourself and your loved ones. Gain tools to navigate caregiving with strength and compassion, and join a growing movement that’s rewriting the narrative around brain health and aging.

Together, we’ll build a healthier future — one woman, one family, one community at a time.
