Call for Advanced Workshops
Advanced Workshops take place Wednesday to Friday, October 23-25, offered in one, 1.5, two and three hour lengths. We will not have any full day Advanced Workshops.
We invite workshops that address our conference theme and/or cover major themes in hypnosis. SCEH workshops are scientifically-based and of the highest teaching quality. Please be sure to include demonstrations and practice sessions in your proposal wherever possible. Our attendees frequently ask for more hands practice opportunities and we consider experiential components an important part of our workshops.
Pre-submission Inquiries
Pre-submission inquiries can be sent to the Conference Co-Chairs or you may email us at [email protected].
If you are new to presenting, please reach out to the co-chairs for additional guidance.

Call for Scientific Program Proposals
The Scientific Program will take place on Saturday and Sunday, October 26 -27 and features research presentations, symposia, panels and posters.
We invite researchers to submit proposals describing their work on hypnosis and related fields. We especially encourage proposals that address the conference theme or related areas that broaden our understanding of hypnosis. We also invite the submission of abstracts of rigorously conducted case studies, case series and critical reviews. The SCEH Scientific Program supports an atmosphere conducive to constructive criticism and debate.
- Symposia and Panels bring together researchers and clinicians as they critically discuss empirical findings pertaining to a specific theme of relevance to the hypnosis community. Many of these sessions integrate theory, research and clinical practice to highlight issues that improve our understanding of hypnosis. Each symposium or panel is allotted 60-90 minutes. The number of available slots for Symposia and Panels is limited.
- Research Presentations include: experimental studies; case reports; clinical trials; meta-analyses and systematic reviews. Each research presentation is allotted 20 minutes.
- Posters provide another opportunity to review the latest research in the field. Posters presenting novel results and experimental designs will receive priority acceptance. Theoretical arguments or models may be accepted as poster presentations. During the Poster Session on Saturday evening (prior to the Annual Banquet), authors appear in front of their posters and discuss their findings with attendees. Poster authors will be sent details about poster preparation (format/size, etc.) after acceptance. See more information on poster submissions below.
Abstracts will be judged by the quality of research as well as clarity and transparency. Please make sure that your abstracts uphold the highest level of reporting of scientific findings. Abstract format should follow APA 7 formatting guidelines (https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/abstract-keywords-guide.pdf).
Pre-submission Inquiries
Pre-submission inquiries can be sent to the Scientific Program Chairs or you can email us at [email protected].
If you are new to presenting, please reach out to the co-chairs for additional guidance.

Poster Submissions
Presenting a poster at the SCEH Annual Conference Scientific Program is an excellent opportunity to present either fully completed research studies, clinical case studies and pilot studies as well as preliminary research. SCEH provides a unique venue for presenting and integrating rigorous data-based findings in an atmosphere conducive to constructive criticism and debate. Poster presentations allow authors to concisely present a case report or data that can be easily grasped in this format. Poster presentations often permit more discussion between presenters and attendees and may be especially advantageous for students, clinicians, and new investigators. At the Poster Session, poster presenters gain valuable feedback from leading clinicians and researchers in the hypnosis field, both in group and one on one discussions. Poster presenters gain experience in the poster format and have an opportunity to expand professional relationships.
Posters will be accepted on a rolling basis until spots filled or August 1 whichever is earlier.

Annual Conference Presenters qualify for discounted registration to the Annual Conference. We view the presentation of workshops and papers at SCEH as both a service and an honor. All presenters must pay the registration fee even if they attend no workshops other than their own. Registration fees allow presenters to take additional workshops, attend the Scientific Program and receive continuing education credits in accordance with their professional board. Registration fees also help the Society to cover necessary conference expenses. Presenters are also able to earn continuing education credit for all sessions they teach or attend. SCEH offers both CE (for psychology and related fields) and CME (for physicians), included in the registration price. For 2024, Annual Conference Presenter registration rates, see this page.
