The 2026 Society of Digital Psychiatry Symposium
Why should I attend?
The 2026 Society of Digital Psychiatry Symposium is a FREE gathering focused on the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and mental healthcare. As we gather leaders and industry pioneers, this event offers a unique platform for exploration and collaboration of the latest AI advancements within the mental health landscape.
Here is what makes this year’s symposium stand out:
- A Flexible, Multi-Day Format: To better fit your busy schedule, we have reimagined our format. Instead of a single long session, this year features shorter, bite-sized talks spread across multiple days during the week of September 21, 2026.
- An Expanded Lineup: We are growing! This year’s event features an expanded schedule of dynamic talks and expert speakers covering the absolute cutting edge of digital psychiatry.
- Active Community Moderation: We will be guiding the conversations as your moderators, with additional co-moderators to be announced soon.
- Showcase Your Own Work: This isn't just a place to listen—it's a place to contribute. We are actively inviting our community members to showcase their own work and innovative projects directly during the symposium.
