OCD Art Gallery

Back by popular demand, this year's OCD Art Gallery will feature all kinds of artwork submitted by members of the OCD community. From prints and paintings, to mixed media and illustrations, each art piece tells a unique story of those who crafted them, reaching into the minds and hearts of all who view this gallery. Stop by the Exhibit Hall to immerse yourself into the creativity of our community and to add your mark to this interactive art piece!

Keynote Address & Awards Ceremony

One of our favorite events of the Annual OCD Conference is the Saturday evening keynote address and the IOCDF awards presentation. These selected individuals have gone above and beyond in their efforts to raise awareness and advocate for OCD and related disorders. This year's awards will be given to our winners of the Service Award, Career Achievement Award, Hero Award, and Youth Hero Award for their outstanding achievements.

For the keynote address, Toby, Simon, Mali, and Oliver of the Kinberg family will be joining us to share their family's story with OCD and mental health, and the  unique experience that being part of a high-profile family can have a family’s healing.
