The 51st Annual Psychopharmacology Conference (2027) is scheduled for October 21-24, 2027 in Boston, MA.

Psychopharmacology 2026 took place October 16–18, 2026; pre-conference ticketed events began October 15.

It was held at Westin Copley Place in Boston, Massachusetts.

It was most useful for practising psychiatrists, psychologists and primary care physicians who wanted a clinical refresher across depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and metabolic psychiatry, taught by faculty from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The informal one-to-one curbside consultations with faculty were a practical draw for clinicians with difficult cases, while researchers looking for original data presentations would have got less from a teaching-oriented course.

Ballroom meeting rooms run cold and mid-October in Boston is cool, so layers were sensible.
