This is THE neurotherapy conference.

You'll hear research before it's published, protocols you won't find anywhere else, and ideas that will change how you practice on Monday morning.

These are the elite of neurotherapy, and once a year, they're all in one room.

A preview of the program

People Come For the wisdom.

They come back for each other.

This is a hand-picked gathering of the misfits, the dreamers, and the visionaries of mental health. The clinicians who refused to accept the status quo. The ones who brought neurology and psychology together, took it into the clinic, and are getting results the rest of the field is still catching up to.

Somewhere in the room is the colleague who helps you crack your hardest case. It's where research partnerships, new ventures, and lifelong friendships emerge.

People come as colleagues and leave with a second family.

And we promise you'll have a ton of fun.

Thursday night
Welcome Reception on Stearns Wharf

Wine tasting over the water to kick things off.

Saturday night
Celebration Dinner at a Private Riviera Estate

An evening in the hills above Santa Barbara to close it out.

Every day
Breakfast, Late Nights and the Coast

Big ideas, long conversations, and the beach right outside the door.

Come for the science. Leave with community.
Secure Your Seat

Belong to something bigger.

This group has gravity.

Everything we do, we do to challenge the status quo.
We believe in thinking differently.
We believe the way forward is through the brain.

Somewhere tonight, a client is sleeping through the night for the first time in years. A child is finally able to focus. A veteran feels at home in his own body again. Behind each of those moments is a clinician who dared to try something new, and a community that showed them the way.

That's the movement.
Quiet breakthroughs, one brain at a time.
Astonishing miracles most of the world never gets to see.
The wonder of what becomes possible when a brain changes.

All of it adding up to a new future for mental health.

First year? Your ticket is your way in.
Coming back? Welcome home.
