May 29 – June 2, 2027 | Atlanta, Georgia

Join us in Atlanta GA at Sonesta Gwinnett Place in Duluth (Atlanta Metro)

Dreams have always connected us—to ourselves, to one another, and to the mysteries of the human experience. Join us in Atlanta for IASD’s 44th Annual Conference as we gather a global community of researchers, clinicians, educators, artists, authors, therapists, students, and dream enthusiasts to explore the many dimensions of dreaming.

The Venue: Located in Duluth, just northeast of downtown Atlanta, the Sonesta Gwinnett Place Atlanta offers convenient access to restaurants, shopping, parks, and many of the city's top attractions. The hotel is approximately 35 miles (55 km) from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport – one of the world’s largest international airlines hubs.

Atlanta's vibrant blend of innovation, history, culture, and creativity provides the perfect setting for a week of discovery, collaboration, and inspiration. Whether you're interested in dream science, psychology, neuroscience, spirituality, creativity, lucid dreaming, healing, culture, or the arts, you'll learn from leading voices in the field while connecting with passionate dreamers from around the world.

The Conference: This premier international gathering is devoted entirely to the study and exploration of dreams. During five unforgettable days, choose from over 100 presentations from 20 or more countries around the globe, featuring world renowned keynotes, lectures, workshops, symposia, panels, and morning dream groups. More than just a conference, it’s a festival, with special events such as the Dream Telepathy Contest, the internationally acclaimed Dream Art Exhibition and the ever-popular costume Dream Ball. Explore groundbreaking research, discover new perspectives, and become part of a welcoming community dedicated to advancing the understanding and appreciation of dreams.

Whether this is your first conference or your twentieth, you'll leave inspired, connected, and equipped with new ideas to enrich both your personal and professional journey.

Call for Presentations and Volunteers: if you wish to participate as a presenter or volunteer, begin planning now and watch for the Call for Presentations and Call for Volunteers to be announced and posted in early September.
