Are you ready to share your knowledge and experience with others?

The International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD) is thrilled to invite you to be part of a shared journey of learning and growth at our 44th Annual Conference, taking place March 4-7, 2027 at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza in Boston, MA, USA.

The 2027 conference theme, “Beacons of Hope: Lighting the Way to Connection and Courage,” invites presenters and attendees to come together through the exchange of ideas, collaboration, and innovation that continue to advance our understanding and treatment of complex trauma and dissociative disorders.

Our ISSTD community consists of many dedicated students, clinicians, and researchers, that work diligently to support those who live with complex trauma and dissociation. The diversity of experience and skill sets within our community truly makes learning from one another so valuable, and we deeply encourage you to submit a proposal, and contribute your insights and wisdom to the creation of our 2027 Annual Conference.

Whether you are new to the field or bring years of experience, your perspective and experiences matters. We encourage you to take this opportunity to share the work you are passionate about with colleagues, peers, and friends across the ISSTD community. We especially welcome submissions at both the introductory and advanced levels—presentation types that attendees value and seek out yet are often underrepresented in the proposals we receive.

We invite you to be part of shaping this meaningful event by sharing your experience, expertise, and curiosity as we learn and grow together. Please consider submitting a proposal during our Call for Proposals Period, open June 1 to July 15, 2026.

If you have any questions, please email cfas@isst-d.org. We look forward to building the 44th Annual Conference together, through your proposal submissions, and we hope to see you in Boston in March, 2027!
