The conference will be held at The Chelsea Hotel.

Attendees have the option to lodge at the Chelsea Hotel or select from various nearby accommodation choices.

The conference will be in hybrid format, with in-person and online registration options.

What is a hybrid conference?

A hybrid conference is one that combines a “live” in-person event with a “virtual” online or remote component. For CACBT-ACTCC’s 14th Annual Conference, we offer in-person attendance of all sessions, as well as online attendance through the Fourwaves platform. The Fourwaves platform also offers other features, including information about our speakers, our venue, virtual posters, and chat features.

How do I make the most of a hybrid conference?

If you are joining us virtually, we recommend that you take a few extra minutes to explore the Fourwaves platform and its various tabs and functionality. Check out the Speakers and Schedule to see details about the leaders in the field we have leading each session, and to review important information about Continuing Education (CE) credits. When the event is live, you will be able to access handouts and the evaluations to be completed at the end of each session for CE credits. Check out the Poster Hall to see the virtual posters and to connect with presenters, and make sure to visit the Participants and Event Chat to connect with your colleagues!

If you are joining us in person, we encourage you to create a Fourwaves profile to connect with virtual attendees as well - similarly to access the schedule and handouts before and during the conference. Then simply show up in person with a mobile device (phone, laptop, or tablet) to use the platform to complete the evaluations for your CE credits!

To earn CE certificate(s) at the 2024 CACBT-ACTCC hybrid conference, attendees must do the following:

· Attend the session in full (no partial credits awarded);

· Attend the conference in real time (CE credits will not be provided if you watch the recorded version); and

· Complete the post-workshop evaluation with the session specific code (the link and code will be made available at the end of each session). Note that the evaluations must be submitted before the end of the conference (May 11, 2024 at 8pm ET).

You will receive your CE certificate(s) via email within six weeks of the conference.

Note: The Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies has approval by the Canadian Psychological Association to provide continuing education credits for those keynotes, workshops and clinical skills trainings that are indicated on the schedule with the symbol. The CACBT maintains responsibility for the program.
