We have also decided for the first time to bring the popular clinically relevant workshop model into the main meeting and we will feature sessions on both adult and pediatric bipolar disorder.
In addition, the ISBD will also host again the popular Women’s Initiative Luncheon session (by invitation), and a reception for the group during the poster session on Thursday. Finally, we will host an advocacy program on Saturday morning that will be translated into Spanish and we will continue to present topics of interest to the clinical audience which feature speakers with lived experience in our Experts by Experience track.
We hope you will enjoy the program but also encourage you to get out and enjoy some of the sites in and around Mexico City with the convenience and comfort of our professionally organized pre or post conference tours, featuring the National Museum of Anthropology, Chapultepec Castle, Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo museums, the Floating Gardens of Xochimilco and the pre-Hispanic city of Teotihuacán, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring the Pyramid of the Sun.
We trust you will benefit from a truly engaging program and enjoy the many opportunities afforded by this wonderful City.
