IOCDF Conference Series

We are thrilled to offer a variety of conferences — both in-person and virtual — for all those impacted by OCD and related disorders. We encourage the global network of people with lived experience, family members and supporters, mental health professionals, researchers, educators, and students to join us for community, collaboration, and education.

Upcoming Conferences

El Congreso Latinoamericano de TOC

25–26 de septiembre de 2025 | Valparaíso, Chile, & Virtual

El Congreso Latinoamericano de TOC servirá como una plataforma dinámica para avanzar en nuestra comprensión y tratamiento del Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC). El congreso ofrecerá educación actualizada, capacitación profesional, investigación y apoyo comunitario para elevar la calidad del cuidado y la investigación sobre el TOC en América Latina.

(Este congreso es una extensión de la anterior Conferencia de TOC Online.)

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.
