Biological Psychiatry Congress 2024

Thursday 28 November - Sunday 1 December

Invitation From The Organising Committee

We are delighted to invite you to join us at the 2024 Biological Psychiatry Congress. This year’s theme is ‘Brain and Mind: Broadening Horizons’.

Aligned with the congress theme of broadening horizons, we have curated a programme that showcases the interconnectedness of brain and mind, as well as takes a deep dive into advances in the aetiology, prediction, prognostication, and treatment of psychiatric disorders.

We are honoured to provide this platform for the exchange of the very latest in science, innovation, and practice, in an enjoyable setting in which to share ideas, engage in rich discussion, seek out networking opportunities, and forge new friendships.

We look forward to your presence and contribution. Your expertise, experience and insights will be invaluable to making this an intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding  event. The Organising Committee is especially keen to welcome participation from registrars, early career psychiatrists, laboratory-based and clinical researchers, and students, and is grateful for the participation and support from industry.

In addition to the many beautiful natural and cultural attractions in Cape Town, the Century City precinct offers excellent accommodation, and world-class shopping and dining facilities.

We are committed to making your experience of the scientific and social program memorable, allowing ample time for both scientific discourse and leisurely exploration.

We look forward to seeing you in November!
