Whether planning intimate meetings or large-scale conferences, our focus remains on delivering high-quality, impactful experiences for the behavioral health community.

Initial Planning Services

CIBHS works closely with convention bureaus, venues, and hotels to find the perfect space for your event. We will actively participate in all planning committee meetings and conference calls, leveraging our expertise to provide valuable insights and support in developing the event’s agenda and logistics.

CIBHS handles all aspects of registration, from processing payments and generating reports to providing on-site staff and managing data entry. We also send automated confirmation emails to registrants and ensure a smooth registration experience from start to finish.

Conference planning is the ghost in the machine when creating a seamless, well executed event. Evidence of a job well done is the almost “magical” way all elements of a well-orchestrated event effortlessly come together-from quality of accommodations, to food service, and leisure amenities. CIBHS has many years of supporting highly rated, expertly planned conferences, meetings, and events.
