Thank you to the members of the 2021-2022 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 commit to developing robust programming including working to encourage a broad range or submissions. Additionally, subcommittees work to ensure specific topics and appropriate expertise are well represented.
