Experts from Italy, other European countries, and North America will present on a variety of subjects, including the causes, nature of, and responses to individual, family, and societal harms associated with participation in highly manipulative groups. Speaker List.

The focus of the conference will be on practical issues aimed at helping former group members and family members of group-involved persons. Psychological, social, and legal considerations will also be examined.  Agenda/Program.

Two tracks with similar content will be conducted, one in Italian and one in English.  Attendees may attend sessions in both languages
