Thank you for your interest in presenting at the 2026 Mass-STEP conference! This year’s meeting will feature an in-person poster session at the Bentley University Conference Center on November 2, 2026, followed by a Community Spotlight in which selected presenters will provide a 10-minute summary and Q&A for their project on the main stage.

Anyone who lives, works, or studies in Massachusetts is eligible to submit an abstract on a project related to psychosis. Abstracts can be up to 300 words (not including title and authors) and should include the following headings: Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions. A sample abstract is included below.

The submission portal is now closed. All presenters will be notified of acceptance by September 14, 2026.
