ISBD is pleased to invite you to the 25th Annual Conference of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders being held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago from June 22-25, 2023.

Like you, we have long awaited the return of the in-person ISBD Conference and we couldn't be more excited to hold this event in one of the premier cities in North America.  Chicago boasts one of the best food scenes in the world with a multitude of award-winning restaurants, unbeatable arts and attractions, exciting nightlife, and miles of public green spaces as well as a sparkling lakefront and lively Riverwalk for you to enjoy. With two first class-airports that average over 1,100 daily flights, the city is easily accessible to our international delegation.

ISBD is the leading international mood disorders conference focusing on bipolar disorders, major depressive disorders and other common co-morbid psychiatric conditions. It is a world-class platform for clinicians and scientists to present, discuss, and trade expertise in the most rapidly evolving area of psychiatry, mood disorders. Join other international scientists and clinicians to be a part of this unique opportunity to share cutting edge findings and network with distinguished experts in the field.

We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!

In an ongoing effort to recognize the outstanding work of future leaders in the field, the International Society for Bipolar Disorders is proud to offer the Samuel Gershon Junior Investigator Awards for up to four young investigators for their original research publication submissions. The Awards are named in honor of Dr. Samuel Gershon, an early pioneer of lithium research who introduced lithium to the US from Australia. He was a founding member of the ISBD, was its first elected president, and was an Editor-in-Chief of Bipolar Disorders, the official Society journal. 

We encourage you to apply and to share this announcement with your colleagues!
