INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY OF SCHEMA THERAPY

29 June 2016

When you're inspired, you're inspiring.

Hear from amazing thought leaders in the field of schema therapy.

YOU'LL BE IN GOOD COMPANY: Six hundred schema therapists will be assembling at the ISST World Conference in Vienna in less than 24 hours. If you are one of them, you have so much to look forward to!

Participants have already received their invitation to join the INSPIRE 2016 Conference App, where they'll be able to chat with other attendees, comment on presentations while they're happening, post directly to Twitter and Facebook, find local cafes and restaurants for lunch and dinner with a direct link to Google Maps, and visit the top travel destinations within Vienna, all with a few taps. The app works on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and within your favorite web browser. Scanning the app, you'll find the numerous activities and selections that fill all three days. DOWNLOAD THE APP

The Preconference Workshops start with fascinating topics applying modes to schema therapy, and the day ends with a large selection of poster presentations, and a welcome reception to meet and greet your colleagues along with the ISST Board Members.

Conference days begin with AcroYoga, led by master performer and star on "Austria's Got Talent!" Lisa Looping. Keynote addresses from the stars of schema therapy, and leaders from outside the schema therapy world, will be sharing their wisdom. Over 50 selections to choose from in the morning and afternoon ensure that attendees will be inspired long after departing from Vienna.

The Closing Ceremony promises a surprise performance from a local artist you won't want to miss, along with announcements of host cities for Summer School 2017 and INSPIRE 2018.

The three days culminate at the closing Banquet at the Marina Restaurant, where you'll enjoy delicious food, delightful company, and dance to the beats of a local Viennese DJ.

Too good to miss.

Only a few spots remain at the venue. If you haven't already registered, get your INSPIRE 2016 Pass for the Schema Therapy Event of the Year: Register Online Now, or at the Door!
