Annual OCD Conference Early Bird Registration Ends Tomorrow! June 10, 2019

Annual OCD Conference July 19-21, 2019 in Austin, Texas
Why do we recommend you go to the IOCDF Annual Conference this year? We challenge you to take 3 minutes to watch the video below!
Why Attend the IOCDF 2019 Conference?
Often the Conference is held in cities like Boston, Chicago, etc. This year it’s in Austin, so it’s a great opportunity to attend without the usual travel costs! It’s drivable in about four hours from DFW, and you don’t have to stay at the conference hotel to attend. The last time the conference was held in Texas was 2007. You can also register to attend for one day only. You can see the schedule of sessions for each day here: Online Schedule More info on cost-effective ways to attend the conference here: Cost-Effective Ideas
Why is it worthwhile to attend? We’ve attended several conferences, and it really is awesome. Like you heard in the video, you’ll be attending with over 1000 other attendees, including adults, teens and kids with OCD, family members, along with treatment providers and other professionals. You can hear many great speakers for the price, attend free support groups, see experts in the field and meet many others with OCD. There will be sessions for different sub-types of OCD and related disorders, including a hoarding track and a Spanish language track.
The early-bird registration deadline is June 7th! There’s also a discount if you join the IOCDF. We’re looking forward to the conference. Please let us know if you’re attending too!
