Tau Global Conference

About the Conference

Leading experts will convene for Tau Global Conference to collaborate and discuss key issues impacting the tau research community. This hybrid conference provides a forum for members of academia, industry, philanthropy and government to:

Explore tau-related biology, biomarkers, therapeutics and phenotypes.
Foster talent development and secure funding for the study of tauopathies, with a focus on early career researchers.
Enhance interdisciplinary collaboration and alignment to address challenges in tau research.

Tau Global Conference 2025 brings together three major Tau-focused conferences (Global Tau, EuroTau and CurePSP Neuro), and is hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association, CurePSP and the Rainwater Charitable Foundation. This conference plays a critical role in bringing together interdisciplinary researchers and perspectives to move tau research forward.
