Bi-Annual Conference
Every other year, we sponsor a FREE conference on hoarding and OCD (2019, 2021, 2023, 2025) which is our fundraiser for the Task Force.
The next OCD & Hoarding Expo is scheduled for Fall 2025. This is a biannual virtual community education and outreach event free to all participants. We are seeking sponsorships for the event to raise funds to train professionals and offer support to those struggling with issues related to hoarding. Please contact one of the co-chairpersons for more information on sponsorship for the Fall 2025 OCD & Hoarding Expo.
