ICSA Annual Conference

Theme: Recovery From Cults and High-Control Groups

Dallas, Texas
June 30, 2016—July 2, 2016

The International Cultic Studies Association (ICSA) is conducting its 2016 Annual International Conference with Info-Secte/Info-Cult of Montreal in Dallas, Texas. The conference will take place from June 30 through July 2, 2016 (preconference workshops on Wednesday June 29).

Attendees and speakers at past conferences have been diverse, including academicians, researchers, helping professionals, former and current group members, families, clergy, educators, and others.

The theme of the conference is "Recovery From Cults and High-Control Groups." However, the conference will include presentations, panels, and workshops on all aspects of the cult phenomenon, including victims’ perspectives, psychological and social manipulation, religious fanaticism, terrorism, law enforcement, treatment, prevention, and legal, social, and public-policy aspects of manipulation and victimization. 

The conference hotel is the Magnolia Dallas Park Cities, which is near Southern Methodist University and adjacent to Mockingbird Dart Rail station. 

Because ICSA is firmly committed to freedom of thought, expression, and religion, its conferences are open to people from diverse backgrounds with diverse points of view. Opinions expressed are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views of ICSA's directors, staff, or supporters. Former group members dealing with recovery issues should keep these points in mind and, when available, attend a preconference former member workshop, which will help them understand the challenges of an open conference.
