30th Annual OCD Conference

For all those impacted by OCD and related disorders, mental health professionals, and researchers.
The Annual OCD Conference is the largest national event focused solely on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and related disorders. This extraordinary event brings together individuals with OCD, their loved ones, and mental health professionals under the same roof with the goal of educating attendees about the latest treatments, research, and practice in OCD and related disorders.
The proposal system to submit to speak will be open from Monday, December 30, 2025 through Monday, January 27, 2025 at 9:00am ET (6am PT).

For Researchers, By Researchers
The IOCDF Research Symposium is a forum for researchers and students from around the world to share data and findings from the latest research in the OCD and related disorders fields. Intended as a “by researchers, for researchers” event, the Symposium brings together scientists to network, learn, and engage in high-level discussion.
More information on the Symposium will be available in Winter 2025. In the meantime, view last year's program for more information on this hybrid event!
Conferencia de TOC Online
September 25–26, 2025
La Conferencia de TOC Online está dirigida a personas con TOC, a sus familiares y también a profesionales de la salud mental. Es un evento diseñado para proveer información, recursos y apoyo a los hispanohablantes de la comunidad TOC. Esperamos que la conferencia ayude a tejer redes dentro de la comunidad TOC, a concientizar sobre salud mental y a reducir el estigma asociado.
Faith and OCD Conference
Wednesday, November 19, 2025 | Virtual
For individuals and families, faith leaders, and professionals.
This unique event began out of the recognition that many people living with OCD initially seek assistance from a faith leader before a mental health provider. The conference was specifically created to address the needs of a diverse community — spanning all faiths, ethnicities, and backgrounds. We’ll provide education about effective treatment and ways to support those in the faith community living with OCD.
More information coming soon!
