Call for proposals to host ICBM 2025

ISBM is now approaching all member societies about the possibility to host the ICBM 2025. All our previous congresses have been successful both scientifically and financially.

 

If your society is interested in organizing the ICBM in 2025, please contact ISBM President Elect Kerry Sherman at kerry.sherman@mq.edu.au.


ICBM 2023 in Vancouver

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the next Congress of the International Society of Behavioral Medicine (ISBM). The Congress will take place August 23-26, 2023, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The congress theme is “From Local to Global: Behavior, Climate and Health” and was inspired by the very location where the Congress is being held. We are planning an exciting four days of keynotes, master lectures, workshops, and symposia around our congress theme. In addition to our intellectually stimulating program, there will be plenty of time to meet friends and colleagues for connecting and socializing. Stay tuned for more details in the upcoming months.
