New Sunday Format
We have listened to your feedback and have redesigned our Sunday format. Instead of an evening keynote followed by a poster session, we have decided to start the 2007 Child and Adolescent Mental Health Conference in the early afternoon with two new sessions—a Clinical Psychopharmacology Symposium and a Psychiatric Medication Symposium.
You can still register early, but now Sunday’s events will conclude by 5:30, so you’ll have the evening free to network (or socialize) with colleagues and friends. And the Poster Session has been incorporated into the workshop schedule so you’ll still have the chance to learn about the latest developments in the field of children’s mental health.
We hope this new schedule will enhance your conference experience—and, as always, we look forward to hearing your feedback. |
