The 38th Annual International Trauma Conference brings together an exceptional roster of internationally recognised leaders in trauma research, clinical practice and healing.
We are delighted to confirm Bessel van der Kolk, Janina Fisher, Bruce Perry, Wendy D’Andrea, Kai Cheng Thom, Tian Dayton, C. Sue Carter, and Ron Siegel among this year’s speakers. Together, they bring decades of expertise and diverse perspectives to the conference, exploring the latest research, innovative approaches and transformative practices shaping the future of trauma care.
For 38 years, the Trauma Research Foundation has brought together leading voices in trauma research, clinical practice and healing. In 2027, we’re taking this extraordinary gathering to New York City for the first time, joining forces with The New School to create a conference that reflects where the field of trauma care is heading.
New York is a city that is constantly evolving – vibrant, diverse, creative, challenging, and welcoming of new ideas. It feels like the perfect home for a conference built around innovation, critical inquiry, connection and social change.
Our partnership with The New School brings together two institutions committed to advancing knowledge and creating meaningful change. Together, we offer a unique environment where scientific rigor meets clinical wisdom, research meets real-world practice and learning meets creativity and action.
Across four days, the 38th Annual International Trauma Conference will bring together global leaders, researchers, practitioners and a vibrant community of professionals dedicated to transforming the way we understand and respond to trauma. Alongside thought-provoking keynotes, attendees will have opportunities to engage in immersive experiential sessions, explore emerging research and clinical approaches and connect with colleagues from around the world.
Whether you join us in person in New York City or virtually from anywhere in the world, this is more than an annual conference. It is a gathering of people committed to building a more informed, compassionate, innovative and accessible future for trauma care.
Join us May 19–22, 2027, at The New School in New York City.
