IOCDF 31st Annual Conference – Seattle, USA
9—12 July 2026 • Seattle, Washington, USA
The International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) invites you to its 31st Annual Conference, the premier global event for the OCD and related disorders community. This conference brings together researchers, clinicians, advocates and people with lived experience to share the latest advances in treatment, research and support.
Attendees can participate in interactive workshops, expert-led panels, networking sessions and poster presentations, all designed to foster collaboration, learning and innovation in OCD care. Whether you are a professional, a person living with OCD, or a family member, the IOCDF Annual Conference offers knowledge, community and inspiration to help shape the future of OCD treatment and advocacy.

Access world-leading OCD education
Hear directly from clinicians, researchers, and lived-experience advocates
Connect with a global community—right from home
