Global CTE Summit 2026

We are excited to have hosted, in collaboration with the BU CTE Center and UCSF Memory & Aging Center, the first ever Global CTE Summit on February 2, 2026, in San Francisco.

The focus of the summit was Caring for Patients with Suspected CTE and programing covered real-world care strategies, emerging diagnostics, and the lived experience of NFL players and their families. Participants learned about all aspects of CTE, including its pathology, genetics, biomarkers, imaging, clinical syndromes, clinical criteria, differential diagnosis, impact on families, and what it is like to live with suspected CTE.

Alongside leading researchers from around the world, former NFL Pro Bowl QB Matt Hasselbeck, Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Sapp, and former Surgeon General Dr. Richard Carmona, a decorated combat and Army special forces veteran, served as featured speakers.

18th Annual Concussion Legacy Foundation Gala

From all of us at the Concussion & CTE Foundation, thank you for making November 13th one of the most impactful nights in the organization’s 18-year history.

On a night in which we celebrated Concussion & CTE Foundation co-founder Dr. Robert Cantu’s incredible legacy, we also heard powerful stories reminding us of the important work ahead to diagnose and treat CTE in living patients. We are thrilled to share that with your support, the 18th Annual Gala raised more than $1.2 million to advance critical research and expand support services for patients and families navigating concussion recovery and suspected CTE.
