About the conference

Half-day workshops run on the morning of Tuesday 14 July, ahead of the main conference, which opens that afternoon and continues through to Thursday 16 July. Delegates can mix and match: a workshop and the full conference, the conference alone, a single workshop, or a single day.

The conference sits within a growing UK CBT community. The EABCT 2025 Congress in Glasgow drew more than 2,400 delegates from over 60 countries, the largest CBT event ever held in the UK, and that momentum carries into Warwick.
