About Conference
We are excited to invite you to the AGI & Neuroscience Conference, the premier global event dedicated to exploring the convergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Neuroscience. Set to take place on October 22–23, 2026, in the vibrant city of Dubai, UAE, this groundbreaking conference will bring together neuroscientists, AI researchers, cognitive scientists, technologists, and philosophers to examine the connections between human and machine intelligence—and the profound implications for the future.
Conference Theme: "Understanding Intelligence: Bridging AGI and Neuroscience"
At the heart of GCAN – 2026 lies the recognition that achieving human-level AGI requires deep insights from neuroscience. This conference will serve as a multidisciplinary platform to explore how brain-inspired mechanisms, cognitive processes, and neural architectures can inform and accelerate AGI research—and vice versa.
From computational models of cognition to neural decoding, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), and biologically plausible learning systems, GCAN – 2026 will highlight how neuroscience is shaping the path to truly intelligent machines.
