The first Global PMTO Conference will focus on four general topics, all under the umbrella of sustaining long-term program fidelity: 

1) Implementing on a large scale: strategies and challenges when implementing large and long-lasting projects

2) Tailoring PMTO: issues in adapting PMTO for different cultures and contexts, while maintaining core PMTO principles 

3) Providing evidence for evidence based practice: recent research methods, findings and clinical implications

4) Clinical issues: challenges confronting practitioners and strategies to address them, to make PMTO better

The main conference day will be 25^th May, where plenary sessions will focus on the general topics. On 26^th May, these and other topics will be developed further through discussion groups and workshops. A poster session will feature the work of all attendees who would like to contribute.

The conference will be held in English, although some sessions on 26^th May may be held in other languages, depending on working groups.

The cost for two days is 1000 NOK, and 500 NOK for a single day. Currently, we are seeking funding to provide scholarships for participants from the different implementation projects/programs. The cost of the banquet dinner is 700 NOK.
