For International Mental Health Conference 2026 (Hybrid Event), what is your primary role on the show floor?
Decision matrix
Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.
visit
Your abstract, clinical trial or service model fits the AI psychiatry, genomics or clinical excellence themes, or you need a CPD certificate for the 2026 cycle.

Min. budget
$400.00
Timeline
Book air and Seaport District hotel 4-8 weeks ahead; registration closes in the final round on 20 November 2026.
Risks
Specific session times are not published in the captured sources, so the agenda must be confirmed with the organiser before travel.
Late-November Boston weather can trigger coastal storm advisories, so buffer arrival plans.
exhibit
You can connect your product to a specific scientific track or abstract and want qualified conversations with practising clinicians and researchers rather than a broad consumer audience.
Best for
Mental health service providers, digital therapeutics vendors, genomic testing labs and publishers who want face-to-face contact with clinicians from 25+ countries.
Min. budget
$2,500.00
Timeline
Book the 3 by 3 sqm tailor-made booth and supply logo files, delegate-bag inserts and poster award sponsorship at least 90 days before opening.

Exhibitor totals are small (10+), so visibility depends heavily on the sponsored poster award and session tie-ins.
