NeuroNYC x Neuromod Conference
Are you attending the Neuromod Conference 2026 in New York City this weekend? Join us!
NeuroNYC is excited to co-host and host two community events designed to bring together researchers, clinicians, entrepreneurs, and students from across the neurotechnology ecosystem.
Women in Neurotech
Saturday, August 1 | 5:20 PM
In collaboration with Neuromodec, we're proud to co-host this fabulous event featuring Dr. Irene Rembado and JoJo Platt. Open to everyone, this session is dedicated to supporting and empowering women in neuromodulation, neural engineering, brain-computer interfaces, and the broader neurotechnology community.
Come hear their career journeys, ask questions, exchange ideas, and connect with peers, mentors, and leaders from academia and industry.
Young Scientist Social
Saturday, August 1 | 7:00 PM
NeuroNYC is also excited to host our annual Young Scientist Social, a relaxed evening dedicated to building community across the field. Whether you're a student, trainee, postdoc, early-career professional, or established researcher, this is a chance to meet new people, continue conversations from the conference, and make lasting connections within the NYC neurotechnology community and beyond.
We look forward to seeing you this weekend and continuing to build a stronger, more connected neurotechnology community together! 🧠
Neurotech Summer Summit 26
NeuroNYC’s 2nd Annual New York Neurotech Summer Summit
Join us on Tuesday, July 21, for an invite-only evening bringing together leaders at the forefront of brain technology and the rapidly evolving neurotechnology industry.
As the field reaches a pivotal moment of scientific advancement and commercialization, the summit will convene leading voices across the four pillars supporting the neurotech ecosystem: companies commercializing neurotechnology, investors channeling capital into the field, clinicians implementing and shaping neurotechnology solutions, and research labs pioneering what comes next.
Why New York?
New York is uniquely positioned to become a global center for neurotechnology. The city combines world-class academic institutions, leading medical centers, a growing community of neurotechnology companies, and one of the world’s most influential investment ecosystems.
The purpose of the summit is to encourage discussion and collaboration across the industry while exploring actionable ways to strengthen New York’s position as a leading neurotech hub.
The evening will include a brief NeuroNYC presentation followed by a panel discussion featuring leaders working across neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, research, commercialization, and investment.
Panel Discussion: Building New York’s Neurotech Future
Moderated by: Shirley Zhang, Chief Operations Officer, OpenBCI
Panelists:
Molly Lucas, Director of Machine Learning, Precision Neuroscience
John Propst, PhD, MBA, General Partner and Co-Founder, Ground Effect Ventures

Fall 2023 NeuroNYC at Synchron
The third of a recurring free happy hour series meant to foster engagement between NYC's neurotech community. This happy hour will be hosted and sponsored by Synchron.
This event will feature an introductory talk by Tom Oxley, Synchron CEO, and open up for drinks and good conversation afterwards!
NeuroNYC, the group behind the happy hours, is a collaboration of neurotech enthusiasts from many of the exciting neurotech companies now headquartered in NYC including OpenBCI, Synchron, Sharper Sense, NeuraLenz, and Invictus BCI. We are all excited by the growth of neurotech in NYC but felt there was a lack of events promoting communication between the different neurotech companies, labs, and investors. We are hoping this happy hour series will help fill that void. Moreover, we're looking for more members to join and more companies/labs/investors who are excited to host future happy hours in the series!
This invite is open to those in the greater neurotech space and including industry, investors, research labs, and those new to neurotech.
The event is free, but we appreciate any donations towards the cost of food and drinks!
