Social Events
Connect, Collaborate & Celebrate
While the 16th World Congress on Brain Injury offers four days of exceptional scientific programming, some of the most meaningful connections happen outside the lecture hall.
We invite you to join colleagues, researchers, clinicians, advocates, and industry partners from around the world at our social events throughout the Congress. Whether you’re reconnecting with longtime friends, meeting new collaborators, or simply taking a moment to unwind, these events provide the perfect opportunity to build relationships while experiencing the warm hospitality, culture, and coastal charm of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
