Â
This episode was recorded live at the 2025 Verbal Behavior Conference, where I had the honor of moderating the annual panel discussion.
Â
If you haven't attended a previous Verbal Behavior Conference, you're in luck, because the next one is coming up in just a few short
weeks. The 2026 VBC will be held on March 26th and 27th, and it will be preceded by a full day workshop.
Â
If you've listened to the show for any length of time, you've heard my go on about how unique this conference is. If not, please indulge me for a moment.Â
Â
The VBC is unlike any other event because each presenter gives two talks across the two days of the conference. This provides them opportunities to dive deeper into their subject matter, which gives audience members so much more information to improve their practice with.
Â
If you attend in person, you'll have numerous opportunities to interact directly
with the speakers too. Whether that's between sessions getting coffee, grabbing lunch in the nearby cafe, or at the poster sessions, you're probably going to have a chance to pick their brains.
Â
If you can't be there in person, BehaviorLive provides a top-notch virtual experience. I'd also say that the VBC has a very consistent and engaged online community too, to the point of me being able to recognize many online attendees' names having seen their chat commentaries for the
past few years.
