Direct discussions between healthcare providers and patients about treatment preferences may not occur due to a preconceived notion that patients prefer oral antipsychotics. Moreover, as LAIs have historically been limited to the treatment of schizophrenia and the most severe cases of BP-I, healthcare providers might be unaware of the benefits LAIs provide in the overall management of BP-I. Improved treatment adherence associated with LAIs compared to oral antipsychotics may support improved outcomes for patients (e.g., reduced relapse and hospitalization).

The annual meeting brings together experts in bipolar disorders including researchers, educators, clinicians, and experts by experience. We are a global organization with representation from over 20 countries. Over three jam-packed days in Reykjavik, a first-time location for ISBD, we will share knowledge and wisdom about mood disorders. Through improved understanding of the causes and treatments for these conditions, we will be better prepared to support those we serve.</p><p>Meaningfully, 2024 marks the 30th anniversary of ISBD's inception. In 1994, Drs. David Kupfer and Ellen Frank hosted the first International Conference on Bipolar Disorders (ICBD), the precursor to ISBD, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. An eager group of researchers and clinicians gathered on the University of Pittsburgh campus from June 23–24, 1994, for the latest updates on bipolar disorder. On June 17, 1999, ISBD was officially launched in Pittsburgh during the 3rd biennial ICBD meeting. Guided by Dr. Kupfer's vision for an international community of experts who gather regularly to share scientific advances and engage in advocacy for equitable research funding for bipolar disorders, ISBD was born. Thirty years later, ISBD is alive and well.</p><p>Selected from an outstanding pool of submissions, this year's program comprises 30 symposia, six workshops, 66 oral reports, and two poster sessions. We will also host the Women's Initiative to support gender diversity in our Society and an Early-Mid Career Committee networking session to advance the up-and-coming leaders in our field.</p><p>Among our truly exceptional line-up of presentations, I would like to highlight six invited plenary talks: <i>My Bipolar Journey</i> (Leah Charles-King), <i>Debate on Antidepressant Medication for Bipolar Disorder</i> (Ralph Kupka, Eduard Vieta, Lakshmi Yatham), <i>Genetic Architecture of Bipolar Disorder: Knowns and Unknowns</i> (Ole A.
