2023 Conference Committee

The Annual Conference Committee is responsible for all aspects of the annual meeting including program theme, invited sessions, balance across disorders and disciplines, peer-review, and much more. ADAA embraces diversity and inclusiveness as a core value and strives to ensure that ADAA's programming reflects this core value.
 
Conference committee members encourage a broad range of submission. Additionally, subcommittees work to ensure specific topics and appropriate expertise are well represented.
