This year’s conference theme — Evolving ourselves and others: Using CBS to face change with courage and flexibility — affords a unique scientific platform to help us embrace change and face it head on with awareness, flexibility and courage. The breadth of the program gives you the opportunity to reflect on how we humans are the drivers of change, and how this awareness can help us shape our environment towards nurturing, sustainability, and diversity. ACBS has a board science agenda that centres on how we can nurture human lives, as well as all life on this planet. Going beyond the presentations, the conference is a unique opportunity for ACBS members to come together as colleagues, collaborators, and friends. I invite you to connect and join in on the many opportunities available to share our mission of helping humans to thrive. You will go home with new friends and a passion for sharing contextual behavioural science. This is also a time of change and growth for ACBS as an organisation, we have grown to approximately 8000 members and it is time for us to drive how ACBS evolves too. Our organisation is run by a small dedicated staff and a big group of volunteers that work in our Committees, Special Interest Groups, Chapters, and Conference Program Committee. Over the past year, the dedicated group of volunteers that comprise the ACBS Board of Directors, along with the Executive Director, have been working on a 3 year vision for change and growth in ACBS. We are now poised to enact this vision across four pillars - building our science, improving our productivity, strengthening our digital commons, and building competency in dissemination. Our mission is to evolve into the kind of organisation that aims to support members, to give members a scientific and professional home, and above all, to strengthen our mission of alleviating human suffering. At this conference I invite you to join us with this vision. This 17th World Conference is set to be an opportunity for you to learn, join in, feel welcomed, and rekindle your passion for growth.
