SCEH Policies for Attendees & Presenters Creating Your Proposal & Receiving Submission Notifications Call for Scientific Presentations and Posters Receiving Submission Notifications Via Email
SCEH Policies for Attendees & PresentersAll Presenters and Attendees will need to familiarize themselves with SCEH Policies.
Creating Your ProposalWe suggest using the latest versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari browsers for completing forms on our website. Please note that most submission problems can be addressed by clearing your browser's cache. Please create and save the content of your proposal in a simple text format, then cut and paste it into the form. This will save you time should you lose your Internet connection while working on your submission or should your submission fail for some reason. Due to formatting limitations, SCEH forms are restricted to plain text, and therefore will not accept bold, italics, or other special formatting. Please create your proposal with this in mind. SCEH will follow a masked review process for submissions. All submissions will be reviewed by the Scientific and Advanced Workshop Co-chairs without knowing the name of the author(s) or presenter(s), to ensure a fair and impartial review of proposals. As a result, please take care to remove identifying information from your proposal. Thank you. To submit a proposal, click on the buttons below to access the appropriate online form.
Receiving Submission Notifications Via EmailOnce the Advanced Workshops & Scientific Program Co-Chairs have reviewed submissions, we will notify you via email if your session has been accepted into our Conference. We anticipate emailing acceptance notices to Presenters some time in May. IMPORTANT: To ensure that you receive notices from the Society, please take a moment now to whitelist our email addresses. We expect all Presenters to reply to acceptance notifications promptly (within two weeks) so we can confirm your agreement to present at the date and time noted. Please note the conference schedule is changing for 2025. Please note this schedule change when submitting a Workshop or Scientific Program Proposal and in planning your participation.

Call for Advanced WorkshopsAdvanced Workshops take place Friday through Sunday afternoon, October 10-12. Please submit workshops of 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.
Call for Scientific Program ProposalsThe Scientific Program will take place Wednesday and Thursday, October 8-9 and includes 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. Abstracts will be judged by the quality of the 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 7th Edition formatting guidelines (https://apastyle.apa.org/instructional-aids/abstract-keywords-guide.pdf). Scientific Program Formats
Pre-submission Inquiries Pre-submission inquiries can be sent to the Scientific Program Chairs.
Poster SubmissionsPresenting 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. Click on the button below to submit your poster proposal. (This is the same form used to submit Scientific Program proposals.)
Registration and Presenter FeesAll Presenters must register and pay for the conference within two weeks of being notified that their proposals have been accepted. Students, please see Student Scholarships section below. 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. The registration rates for the 2025 Annual Conference, including Presenter registration rates, will be announced in early 2025.

This will be sent to all accepted Presenters once acceptance letters have been sent and the educational program has been finalized.
