Poster Submission Deadline Extended to April 1, 2009
I am happy to announce that planning for the ACBS World Conference III is underway. The Institute will be held at the Technical University of Twente on 1-3 July, 2009 in Enschede, The Netherlands.
Pre-conference 2-day experiential workshops will be held on 29-30 June. The conference as well as the social events will take place at the campus of the University. Enschede can be reached by a direct, two-hour train trip from Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. Most of the designated hotels are within walking distance of the campus (designated hotels farther away will provide shuttle service).
The structure of the program will be similar to previously successful ACBS World Conferences, and will be both ACT and RFT focused. We are hoping to give the conference a European flavor so we especially want to hear from European clinicians and/or researchers. Of course we also hope to welcome a lot of folks from outside Europe. We want to give research and RFT a prominent place and we are looking for innovations and new clinical, as well as non-clinical, applications.
We will host an opening evening on Tuesday (30 June) with a poster session/ cocktail event which is intended to showcase clinical and experimental research in RFT and ACT—a great way to see what is happening around the world. There will be a big barbecue on Wednesday evening for all participants of the conference. On Thursday we’ll have our famous Follies night as well as a separate place with music and drinks if you prefer.
At this time, we would like to put out a call for submissions to the ACBS World Conference III. We want to open the call broadly and encourage proposals for short workshops (3 hrs. or less), panel discussions, research symposia, research papers (looking for a symposium), consultation sessions, or other types of sessions you think would be an asset to this year’s program. Feel free to propose sessions you would like to see, along with those you would like to conduct.
We are eager to hear your ideas and will continue to post information regarding the ACBS World Conference III.
For further description of purpose, audience, and style of sessions please read below.
Looking forward to seeing you all here!

PURPOSES
The primary purpose of the conference is to share knowledge, scientific work, ideas, and skills about ACT and RFT. All over the world people are producing an exciting array of work, varying from fundamental research on basic processes to clinical and nonclinical application of ACT and RFT. We want the conference to be a place where all of these folks can meet and exchange the richness of their scientific and applied work.
A secondary purpose is to increase the skill of attendees in implementing research and application of ACT. This will be accomplished through a combination of targeted workshops, symposia, poster session, video demonstrations, live demonstrations, role playing, clinically focused case discussions, and experiential work.
A final purpose of the World Conference is to help interested attendees better understand RFT, its significance in understanding human suffering and how RFT principles can be translated into clinical practice, and to help attendees learn and develop methods and strategies for conducting ACT process and outcome studies in applied and academic settings. This will be accomplished through “user friendly” workshops and small group discussions.
AUDIENCE
The target audience for this conference is any practitioner, researcher, or student interested in learning more about the clinical and non-clinical application of ACT/RFT or who is interested in building the scientific ACT/RFT base of knowledge.
STYLE OF SESSIONS
We want the conference to be very interactive, with participants getting chances to increase their knowledge, enhance their understanding and develop skills, with lots of time for questions, presentations on different levels, chances to do role plays, watch videos, get feedback on difficult clients, and watch tapes of clinical work they have brought with them.
There will also be scientific symposia presented by researchers, with one entire track devoted to RFT research and applications for those with varying levels of familiarity.
