The Concussion & CTE Foundation is proud to build on the momentum of our inaugural CTE Summit in 2026, which convened more than 300 leaders across research, medicine, sports, and advocacy.
This first-of-its-kind gathering created a powerful platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and action. In 2027 we will expand this impact — bringing together an even broader community committed to advancing concussion care, strengthening prevention, and accelerating the path to ending CTE.
Hosted on the UCLA campus, the Summit is designed for clinicians, researchers, and advocates working to improve outcomes for those impacted by brain trauma — as well as suspected CTE patients and their families. Distinguished clinicians and researchers will be joined by football legends and their families.
