World Congress attendees have told us over the years that they come for the quality educational programming, but that the time spent interacting with peers from across the U.S. and around the World is at least of equal importance when making the decision to attend again.
The 11th World Congress offers more opportunities than ever to make those important, meaningful and lasting connections with other crisis intervention practitioners, in educational as well as more social, casual, or fun settings.
Review the chart below to see the schedule of Special Events and Meetings at the 11th World Congress.
