Advanced Psychopharmacology Preconference: Four Emerging MOAs In Psychiatry and Their Major Clinical Impact

This year's Advanced Psychopharmacology Preconference provides a deep dive into four emerging mechanisms of action (MOAs) that are reshaping psychiatric treatment. As research continues to expand beyond traditional neurotransmitter targets, new pathways are offering innovative solutions for mood disorders, agitation, sleep disturbances, and treatment resistance.

Join us to explore the science behind these novel treatment approaches, their clinical applications, and the practical considerations for integration into psychiatric practice. Each session will feature an expert-led discussion, followed by an interactive Q&A to ensure attendees gain actionable insights into how these next-generation treatments can enhance patient outcomes.

Sessions Include:

  1. Muscarinic-Based Treatment Advances: A New Frontier in Psychiatry
  2. Opioid Receptor-Based Treatment Advances: Rethinking Mood Disorder Therapies
  3. Orexin-Based Treatments: A Wake-Up Call for Sleep and Mood Disorders
  4. Glutamate-Based Treatments: Transforming Mood and Agitation Management

Technology Preconference: Simplifying Digital Psychiatry—Tech for the Everyday Clinician

Technology is rapidly transforming psychiatric care, offering new tools for diagnosis, treatment, and patient engagement—but for many clinicians, navigating these innovations can feel overwhelming.

Through a combination of live demonstrations, case-based discussions, and expert panels, attendees will explore essential digital tools, the latest in AI-assisted decision support, and best practices for telepsychiatry and digital therapeutics. The day will culminate with a future-focused keynote, exploring what's next in digital mental health and how clinicians can stay ahead of emerging trends.
