The 2010 conference took place Thursday, April 8 (Opening Reception), Friday, April 9 & Saturday, April 10, 2010 @ The Banff Centre, Banff, Alberta, Canada.

The conference theme was "Emergent Clinical Issues in Problem Gambling."  Presentation and discussion topics  included competing perspectives on etiology and conceptualization of gambling disorders. Research into problem gambling issues was begun to develop an evidence-base for understanding what treatments work. But how do we make these treatments work even better? How can we maximize the number of people who are exposed to these treatments? How can we "sell" our treatments to those that could benefit? What new approaches are worthy of further investigation?  What are the most effective knowledge transfer approaches - getting research to influence policy and practice?

Conference registrants were also invited to attend the pre-conference symposium "Behind the Mask: Understanding Women Problem Gamblers" which took place Thursday, April 8th from 9am-4pm.
