If you noticed a missing conference, please send us an email at conferences@quilltherapynotes.com. If you could include a link to the conference website, that would be super helpful. Thank you!

What is Quill? Thanks for asking. We help therapists with their documentation, including AI therapy notes and more, done in a responsible way, with no recording of a therapy session. We're a husband and wife team, and we stumbled upon the need for a conference directory when looking for conferences to sponsor!
