The Online OCD Conference, brought to you by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF) and OCD SoCal, is happening this weekend on Saturday, October 21st and Sunday, October 22nd! The conference is happening from 8am to 4pm PST each day and it brings together the top OCD experts in the world to one conference. Additionally, each talk is recorded so those who register can watch the presentations at their convenience for up to 60 days after the event!

The Online OCD Conference has brought together a panel of eight notable experts, both mental health experts and people with OCD, to answer questions from the audience during a large Q & A. If you attend live, you can ask any questions you have after watching a full weekend of presentations or any general OCD questions. The wrap up panel is happening on Sunday, Oct. 22nd from 3pm to 4pm PST at the conference live, and it is the only event slated at that time during the event. Therefore, it is an amazing opportunity for all attendees to be together in the same room as part of the OCD community. For those watching live, there is an opportunity to win a raffle prize!

www.iocdf.org/ocdcon

In just over a week, from July 7-9 (with evening activities starting on Thursday, July 6), the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF – http://www.iocdf.org) is hosting the largest OCD conference on the planet! It is in San Francisco, California this year and we encourage you to come! Pre-registration for the conference closes on Thursday, June 29 at 12 noon PST. If you don’t pre-register online ahead of time, you can still register at the event! Onsite Registration begins on Thursday, July 6 at 2pm PST at the IOCDF registration desks at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis. The conference website http://www.iocdf.org/ocdcon is where you are able to register!

It is ideal for individuals with OCD, their family members and loved ones, mental health professionals, researchers, and anyone wanting to learn more about OCD. There will be OCD presentations, talks & support groups, as well community building activities and a chance to bond with others going through a similar situation as you. 

Choose from twenty different support groups to speak to others on a journey similar to yours – make connections and leave the conference with new resources and friends.

The conference also includes a Youth Program – three days of activities for kids in elementary, middle, and high school.  This is a great opportunity for your children to meet others who truly understand them.

As always, the conference will feature a keynote speaker and a Saturday night party- great food, awards, and dancing!  This year’s keynote speaker is actress and comedian Maria Bamford, who has OCD, who you may recognize for her Netflix show, “Lady Dynamite.”  Check out her website: https://www.mariabamford.com

Best of all – experience the OCD community!  At an IOCDF conference everyone mingles- speak directly to therapists, advocates, the IOCDF staff and those with lived experience. It is impossible to leave this conference without more knowledge, new resources and friends and a great feeling of hope.  Don’t miss it!

OCD Southern California board members will be there and on Saturday during lunch, we are hosting a meeting to get to know us and to learn how to get involved with our affiliate! If you are at the conference, look at the program guide for more details on our open, OCD SoCal lunch event that you are welcome to attend!
