Introduction
The Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting is a world‑class global event.
The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) is the world’s largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system. Founded in 1969, SfN has more than 30,000 members from over 95 countries. Throughout the year, the Society carries out a wide range of activities, including publishing two highly respected scientific journals, JNeurosci and eNeuro; providing professional development resources and career training through Neuronline, the Society’s learning and networking platform; engaging in scientific advocacy and public policy initiatives, including the annual Capitol Hill Day; and offering a variety of compelling public outreach programmes, highlighted by the ever‑expanding interactive public resources on the BrainFacts.org website.
SfN’s headquarters is located in downtown Washington, D.C., and has been owned by the Society since 2006, with approximately 100 staff members dedicated to fulfilling SfN’s mission. SfN’s annual meeting and exhibition typically attracts more than 30,000 attendees from 80 countries, along with 536 exhibiting companies and nearly 300 journalists.
