HAI is not the biggest brain imaging conference. It is, by design, the sharpest. Three days. No parallel sessions. Every abstract peer-reviewed, every poster central, every debate protected. If your work touches PET, tau, biomarkers, or the instruments we use to see inside a living brain — this is where the field actually moves.
One track / Posters at the center / 300–400 scientists / Discussion protectedThree scientific homes. Research that crosses boundaries.
For 2027, HAI introduces a refined scientific framework reflecting how Alzheimer's imaging and biomarker research increasingly crosses disciplines and modalities.
How do we measure it?
What does it tell us about people, disease, progression or treatment?
What does neuropathology establish or explain?
Fluid Biomarkers • AI / Computational Approaches • Clinical Trials / Therapeutic Development
Outstanding podium and poster science recognized separately.

Every HAI abstract is peer-reviewed. Selected work enters a single-track scientific meeting in which podium presentations are seen by the entire audience and posters receive dedicated scientific attention.
At HAI, acceptance is not simply a place on a schedule. It is an invitation into the scientific conversation.
