16th - 18th February 2026 | John Niland Scientia Building at UNSW Sydney, Kensington, Australia
ABNN Symposium 2026
Welcome
The Australasian Bioelectronics, Neurosensing and Neuromodulation Symposium is a planned gathering of engineers, neuroscientists and clinicians from industry and academia interested in advancing neurostimulation and neural recordings for a variety of scientific and therapeutic applications. The symposium is scheduled to be held at UNSW Sydney from February 16-18, 2026. Our aim is to provide an opportunity and platform for networking, collaboration, and knowledge exchange on recent advances in bioelectronic interventions, strategies, and technologies. We anticipate attendees from throughout Australia, New Zealand, and Asia-Pacific. This is the first time the event will be held and represents the only meeting of its kind in Australasia.
We encourage abstract (oral and poster) submissions across the full range of clinical and scientific applications for bioelectronics including neuromodulation strategies and technologies, device and materials design, novel neurosensing approaches, computational neuroscience, clinical translation, clinical trial studies.
