We regret to inform you that the 2026 The Science of Consciousness conference, scheduled for April 6–11, at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, has been cancelled. After careful consideration and consultation with the conference organizing team, we have determined that it is no longer feasible to move forward with the conference as planned. We will instead focus on exploring a program for next year that reflects the conference’s mission and its longstanding positive impact on the scientific and scholarly community it serves.
