With a little more than one week to go before ISITDBT 2013, we offer our greetings and best wishes for a safe trip to Nashville. Get ready to meet some new friends, as ISITDBT registration for 2013 is already over 250 registrants, which is more than last year! If you are planning on attending ISITDBT, and have not purchased your ticket for the ISITDBT day, I request (as strongly as my little heart can) that you register today. Last year, we had some walk ups on the day of the event. We’ll be asking walk ups to register on their phones anyway this year, if at all possible. And since this year is my last hurrah, I want to make sure that for 2013 we have the correct numbers for seats in the meeting rooms and the correct catering numbers for the continental breakfast and the afternoon break. Happy DBTers is my goal!
Speaking of catering, for the Continental Breakfast, the hotel will be serving their breakfast package called Tennessee Mornings. The costs of this continental breakfast and the costs of the afternoon break fare are included in your registration fee.
This year, in the afternoon, we will have some additions to our usual coffee fare. The afternoon break will include Whole Fruit, Assorted Cookies or Brownies, Coffee, Decaf and Selection of White Lion Teas.
So we will do our best to take care of you, educate you, and give you opportunities for networking. In exchange, I simply ask for registration today, if we’re to see you in Nashville. Thanks so much.

ISITDBT is pleased to make formal the announcement that the Program Chair for the ISITDBT Conferences for 2014 and 2015 will be Lynn McFarr, PhD
Dr. McFarr is the dictionary definition of Scientist Practitioner, so it makes perfect sense that she would chair our conference, aimed at Improvement and Teaching of Dialectical Behavior Therapy!
Please make sure that you come to Nashville to meet Dr. McFarr at ISITDBT 2013 to give her your best wishes. Tickets for ISITDBT 2013 are still available, even though 2013 registration is even stronger than last year. Just make sure that you come to Music City ready to sing!
Once again, a big thank you to Dr. McFarr for taking on the responsibility of Chairing the 2014 and 2015 ISITDBT Program Committees.
See you all in November,
Adam

You can watch the count down to ISITDBT 2013 at the ISITDBT Conference Page.
We are under one month to go!
If you have been waiting to register, please wait no longer. All morning workshop choices are still open at present, but please do not tempt fate. We will use the same online registration on site in Nashville, so make it easy on yourself and please register from the comfort of your home or office before you come on to Music City.
Please use the ABCT site to reserve your rooms at the Opryland Hotel for your attendance at ISITDBT and ABCT. This link will afford you the ABCT room rate.
See you soon,
Adam

We are excited to announce the research and program development posters that will be part of our ISITDBT 2013 Poster Session. Although we never have enough room to accept all the posters that we would like to accept, we will be able to have nineteen posters this year. More than last year!
Please view the list of 2013 ISITDBT Posters so you will be ready for our poster session in Tennessee Ballrooms D & E. The poster session will run from 5:15PM to 6:30PM on November 21, 2013 after Marsha Linehan’s annual State of DBT Address. Bring some pocket change for the cash bar and bring your business cards for networking, while you soak in the data from the posters.
Please remember that Early Bird Rates for ISITDBT 2013 Registration will continue until the morning of October 10, 2013. It will be an automatic switchover to the higher rates on that date, so get while the getting is cheaper (i.e., by Oct 9th)! The early bird rates help me to estimate the number of attendees, so that I can keep things organized with the hotel. Your early registration saves your wallet and makes for a smoother ISITDBT day overall. So please don’t delay!
Enjoy reviewing the Posters!
Best Regards,
Adam

- The due date to submit abstracts for the afternoon Poster Session at ISITDBT 2013 is September 10, 2013. We received a “goodly batch” of abstracts over the weekend, and there is still room for more. Authors of accepted posters will be notified of acceptance on October 4th.
- The due date for nominations for the 2013 ISITDBT Research Award is September 15, 2013. Please consider honoring your colleague by taking the time to write your rationale for a deserving DBT / BPD researcher.
Registration is going quite well. We are four days into registration and current registration totals have already have reached 20% of last year’s total number of registrations. Please remember that early bird rates only last until October 10, 2013, at which time rates will increase. Please consider registering by this early bird date to help me have accurate numbers for ordering the morning continental breakfast and the afternoon coffee. Also, I do expect that some workshops will reach the limit for registrants somewhere during the registration timeline. We are not at that point yet. Early registration will remove the chance that you may get closed out of a preferred morning workshop.
