#EPION2019

Do you have an idea for a conference session?

For the past 14 years, the Early Psychosis Intervention Ontario Network (EPION) has been the voice of early psychosis intervention (EPI) services in Ontario. EPION’s bi-annual conference is the largest EPI conference in Canada, and brings together researchers, practitioners, individuals with lived experience of psychosis, and family members to share, learn and network together.

We invite you to submit a proposal to present your EPI research or initiatives at EPION’s 2019 Conference in November. Presentation formats include oral presentations, symposia, and poster presentations. Submissions will be accepted until May 21, 2019.

Presentations can be individual or group (within or across EPI programs).

Topics can include:

  • innovative clinical practices,
  • program evaluation,
  • research studies,
  • lived experience initiatives, and
  • community partnerships.

Formats can include:

  • Oral presentations – research or clinical
    (20, 30, or 60 minutes)
  • Symposium – collection of talks on a specific topic
    (60 minutes)
  • Posters

The Abstract Review Committee will review all submissions. The Committee may accept your proposal in a category or format different from what was originally proposed.

It is expected that accepted proposals will be presented at the conference. All presenters need to register for the conference (either a single day or full 2-day registration).
