HAS CONFERENCE 2026
April 17th 2026
CONFERENCE DETAILS
The HAS Conference - Designed as a dynamic forum for interdisciplinary dialogue, this conference will convene an inspiring cross-section of thought leaders—ranging from health advocates and scientific researchers to pioneers in artificial intelligence and cultural creators.
Conference Format
This conference will foster meaningful exchanges at the intersection in Neurodegenerative Diseases, Cognitive Enhancement, Neuroplasticity and the Biochemical Basis of Learning and Recovery and Creative Cognition, Ethical and Legal Issues and AI in Education and Development.
- CORNELL TECH CAMPUS -
Verizon Executive Education Center: W2 West Loop Road New York, NY 10044
Two Parts
The conference will feature two expert-led parts:
- Part 1: Focused on Neuroplasticity and the biochemical basis of learning and recovery and creative cognition. Current pharmaceutical strategies aimed at reducing inflammation, protecting neurons, and slowing disease progression.
- Part 2:
- The Role of Brain Rhythms in Cognition and Memory Formation.
- Disruption of Brain Rhythms in Neurodegenerative Diseases.
- How do we promote critical human learning in an increasingly AI world and AI in Education and Development.
- Ethical and Legal Issues in Patient and Family -Representation in Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Through science, compassion, and ethically grounded collaboration, we aim to address challenges for individuals affected by neurological conditions and brain trauma—including complex neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease, all of which share underlying challenges related to progressive neural deterioration, impaired communication between brain cells, and declining cognitive or motor function.
Learn to see the world with fresh eyes is not easy. Yet it is necessary. Why? We have old questions, eternal questions – What is truth? Love? Beauty? Good? What does the heart seek? We live in a world of change and if we don’t see the world with fresh eyes, we might not be able to answer these questions as they are obscured by change and noise.
Open dialog, shared knowledge, and lifelong learning – It is easy to walk away from these over time, but we must not. We need to live in a space where ideas flow, curiosity is nurtured, and fear is kept from being our compass. Far-seeing vision requires open eyes, clarity, and a greater horizon. When we meet others, we must offer compassion as we share ourselves and listen quietly. Our aim is to be humble. To live with the breath of the sublime. In doing so, we reaffirm a timeless truth.
“When we live in alignment with our deepest values and strive toward our highest potential, we not only honor who we are—we inspire what we can become".
