About The Annual OCF Conference
What is the OCF Annual Conference?
The Annual OCF Conference is the only national meeting where people from all parts of the OCD Community come together to share knowledge, experience and expertise. The OCD Community is comprised of people with OCD or an OC Spectrum Disorder, their families and friends and the mental health professionals who treat OCD or are doing research in the field.
At this year's conference, our 15th, we have scheduled over 100 presentations, workshops and seminars, and 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 stories.
