We invite you to join distinguished clinicians and researchers along with football legends and their families at the first Global Summit on CTE.

We do not yet know how many people are living with CTE, but researchers believe the number could be significant. Out of more than 400 former NFL players studied after death, more than 90% have had CTE. CTE continues to be diagnosed post-mortem in former high school football players, and there are more than 20 million men alive right now in the U.S. who have played.

The focus of the summit is Caring for Patients with Suspected CTE and programing will cover real-world care strategies, emerging diagnostics, and the lived experience of NFL players and their families. Participants will learn 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.

The summit is organized by the Concussion Legacy Foundation with the content developed in collaboration with the Boston University CTE Center and UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences Memory and Aging Center.

Hosted on the UCSF Mission Bay campus, it 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.
