Welcome to the PCIT International Biennial Convention 2026
We’re excited to announce that the next PCIT International Biennial Convention will take place virtually in 2026. This global event brings together Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) professionals—including therapists, trainers, researchers, and program leaders—to share best practices, explore new research, and advance the use of this evidence-based therapy for child behavior.
Our Biennial Convention has a strong history of supporting the PCIT community with high-quality continuing education, clinical training, and implementation support. Past conferences have featured topics such as telehealth delivery, fidelity monitoring, cultural adaptations, and trauma-informed care. Whether you are new to PCIT training and certification or an experienced provider, the convention offers practical insights and connection with a global network of PCIT professionals.
The 2026 virtual PCIT conference format will make it easier than ever to attend from anywhere in the world. Participants can expect a full schedule of live and on-demand sessions, research presentations, workshops, and networking events focused on improving outcomes for young children and their families.
We invite you to join us in 2026 to strengthen your skills, stay current with PCIT developments, and be part of a growing international movement to support families through evidence-based care.
