The Misophonia Collaboration Forum brings together researchers, clinicians, individuals with lived experience, and advocates to exchange expertise, identify barriers, and build practical strategies for advancing research and care. The MRF is intentionally engaging experts from related fields to bring new perspectives and complementary expertise to misophonia, with opportunities to connect, collaborate, and pursue funding in this growing field

This year’s Forum offers opportunities to:

• Learn about misophonia, possible causes, ways to identify the disorder, and possible ways to treat it.
• Build clinical knowledge and connections by engaging directly with misophonia experts and colleagues across clinical disciplines, with a focus on improving awareness and moving toward more consistent, informed approaches to care.
• Contribute to an emerging field where foundational methods, measures, research priorities, and clinical approaches are still being developed—and where expertise from adjacent fields can meaningfully shape what comes next.
• Learn directly from the misophonia community about lived experiences, barriers to care, and priorities for research and clinical practice.
• Develop new collaborations across research, clinical practice, and the lived experience community.

Location: The Whitley Hotel, 3434 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, and online for virtual attendance
