11th international association OF cognitive behavioral therapy conFERENCE

August 14- 17, 2025

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

Dear valued IACBT Nashville Friend,

It’s with the deepest sorrow that I must inform you that the IACBT conference as was planned must be canceled due to the actions and regulations of the Trump administration. Please rest assured, all registrations and any other conference payments will be refunded to those already registered.  

It was our deepest hope to welcome you all to this magical and exciting city to learn and think as world thought leaders in CBT. Sadly, due to the actions of the current Trump administration related to federal funding and international relations, the conference is no longer financially viable in its current format.  

These factors were neither present nor foreseeable when the conference was initially planned.  

While we cannot meet in this form, please join IACBT and become active. This organization is a vibrant, international, diverse group of CBT thought leaders dedicated to making evidence-based treatments available to all. They’ve been a tireless support of the IACBT Nashville conference and great collaborators.  

During this time of uncertainty, reach out and join with other professionals in making the best treatments available to those we serve.  

Thank you for your understanding and support.  I am heartbroken not to welcome you myself and I hope to engage with you in the future. Be well,

Aaron Brinen, PsyD | 2025 Conference Chair
