Welcome To
13th Neuroscience & 7th Eating Disorder & 8th Headache Conference 2026 – 1st ACPN Dementia Symposium 2026
OFFICIAL INVITATION FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIRMAN
Dear Colleagues, Distinguished Guests, and Healthcare Professionals,
It is our great pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 13th International Neuroscience Updates Congress, held in conjunction with the 8th International Headache Symposium, the 7th International Eating Disorder Conference, and the inaugural 1st ACPN Dementia Symposium.
This landmark scientific event represents a unique multidisciplinary platform that brings together leading experts, clinicians, researchers, educators, and healthcare professionals from across the region and internationally to advance collaboration, scientific exchange, and innovation in neuroscience and mental health care.
The rapid evolution of neuroscience, neuropsychiatry, cognitive medicine, and integrated patient care continues to reshape the way we understand and manage complex neurological and psychiatric disorders. Through this congress, we aim to provide a comprehensive and academically enriching program that highlights the latest evidence based research, emerging therapeutic approaches, clinical best practices, and future directions across multiple subspecialties.
The addition of the 1st ACPN Dementia Symposium marks an important milestone in addressing the growing global impact of dementia and cognitive disorders. By integrating dementia focused discussions within this congress, we aim to promote greater awareness, earlier detection strategies, multidisciplinary management approaches, and improved quality of care for patients and families affected by cognitive decline.
Over the course of the conference, participants will engage in high quality scientific sessions, expert panel discussions, interactive learning experiences, and collaborative networking opportunities designed to foster professional growth and strengthen interdisciplinary partnerships.
We are confident that this congress will serve as an exceptional scientific forum that supports continuing medical education, encourages innovation, and contributes meaningfully to the advancement of neuroscience and mental health services both regionally and internationally.
On behalf of the scientific committees, we extend our sincere appreciation to our distinguished faculty, delegates, sponsors, partners, and supporters for their valuable contributions and commitment to the success of this important event.
With our warm regards,
Dr. Taoufik Alsaadi

Conference Introduction
The 13th International Neuroscience Updates Congress, held in conjunction with the 8th International Headache Symposium, the 7th International Eating Disorder Conference, and the newly introduced 1st ACPN Dementia Symposium, is a distinguished scientific gathering dedicated to advancing excellence in neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, and integrated patient care.
This prestigious multi‑disciplinary event provides an exceptional platform for leading experts, clinicians, researchers, and healthcare professionals from the region and around the world to exchange knowledge, share clinical expertise, and explore the latest advancements in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of neurological and psychiatric disorders. The addition of the ACPN Dementia Symposium further enriches the scientific depth of the congress by highlighting one of the most pressing global health challenges—dementia and cognitive decline—through focused discussions on early detection, innovative therapies, and comprehensive care models.
Through a comprehensive scientific agenda comprising expert presentations, educational sessions, clinical insights, and collaborative discussions, the conference will address contemporary challenges and emerging developments across neuroscience, headache medicine, eating disorder management, and dementia care. Emphasis will be placed on evidence‑based practice, multidisciplinary collaboration, innovation in patient care, and the translation of research into clinical excellence.
By bringing together four highly specialized conferences under one unified platform, this event offers a unique opportunity to strengthen professional networks, encourage interdisciplinary dialogue, and promote continuing medical education across multiple specialties. It also serves as an important forum for fostering partnerships and shaping future approaches to complex neurological and mental health conditions.
We are honored to welcome our distinguished faculty, delegates, sponsors, and partners to this landmark event, and we look forward to an inspiring, productive, and impactful scientific experience for all participants.
