19th Annual OCD Conference - Downtown Chicago

What is the IOCDF Annual Conference?

Since 1993, our Annual Conference has been the only national meeting focused solely on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and OC related disorders. The unique event allows people with OCD and their loved ones to experience the latest OCD information alongside the mental health professionals who care for them.

Over 1,000 attendees are expected to join us in Chicago, IL for this year's conference, our 19th. The conference will feature more than 100 presentations, workshops, and seminars as well as nearly two dozen support groups. Our presenters include some of the most experienced and knowledgeable clinicians and researchers in the field, as well as people with OCD and family members who are willing to share their story.
