The Online OCD Conference, A Global Event—hosted by OCD SoCal, is coming BACK this year! Thank you for making last year’s event so successful and demanding its return! The conference proposal system is open and we are now accepting proposals for our Saturday and Sunday, November 7-8, 2026 conference! Due to demand, we have extended the date that proposals are due to today, May 26, 2026 by midnight PDT! If you would like to speak at our conference, please go to: Online OCD Conference Proposal Submission Page (this is a Google Doc, so you may need to log into your Google account to access the form).
OCD Southern California has been hosting conferences since 2015, and in 2021, OCD SoCal created the Online OCD Conference and transitioned to a virtual platform. This year’s event will be held Saturday and Sunday, November 7-8, 2026.
We hope you clear your calendars and are able to attend live on Saturday, November 7th through Sunday, November 8, 2026! The 2026 conference is from 9am to 6:30pm PST (including after hours community discussion groups and interactive events) on Saturday the 7th, and 9am to 3pm PST on Sunday the 8th.
Our conference has been a cornerstone for global collaboration, bringing together experts, innovators, and thought leaders from around the world.
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. Our proposal system is now officially open! 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.
