The Online OCD Conference – hosted by OCD SoCal, will be held on Saturday and Sunday, November 7-8, 2026.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or new to presenting, we invite you to participate in the OCD Online Conference. This globally connected event brings together varied voices from around the world. We welcome innovative ideas, fresh perspectives, and research that resonates across borders from mental health providers, researchers, individuals with lived experience and their families, and others interested in speaking on OCD and related disorders.

OCD SoCal values perspectives from individuals with lived experience. To maximize the number of voices represented, we are unable to accept proposals for single presenter talks at this time. If you are interested in speaking, we encourage you to collaborate with your therapist to form a panel. Panels allow for a richer exchange of insights and can offer both valuable information and inspiration to a broader audience.

If you would like to speak at this conference, please go to https://ocdsocal.org/conference/, click the link on that webpage to submit a proposal (this is a Google Doc, so you may need to log into your Google account to access the form).

The deadline for proposals is Monday, May 20, 2026 at midnight PT.

When opened, the Proposal Form will have answers to FAQs. We hope you consider submitting a proposal!
