The Conference on Intervention Optimization kicks off today, and we could not be more excited about who is in the room: people building the methods, people putting them into practice, and the early-career researchers carrying the work forward. #IOptimize26

Because the conference brings everyone into the same session rather than splitting people across tracks, #IOptimize26 is designed for conversation as much as presentation. Poster discussion and time for exchange are built in. bit.ly/ioptimize26

The Wednesday program at #IOptimize26 @ioptimize.bsky.social includes a funding-focused panel with NIH program staff, followed by roundtable discussions. It is one part of a broader program on intervention optimization, implementation, digital health, and methods. Register: bit.ly/ioptimize26

Walter Dempsey and Devin Tomlinson on new experimental designs for intervention optimization. One of the most methods-forward sessions on the program. #IOptimize26 bit.ly/ioptimize26

Digital meditation training has reach. The harder question is how to make it more engaging and more effective. Simon Goldberg on optimizing and personalizing digital meditation training at #IOptimize26. Browse the full agenda: bit.ly/4bKvm7D

How and when should a mobile intervention prompt action during a quit attempt? Lindsey Potter presents results from the MARS micro-randomized trial at #IOptimize26. bit.ly/ioptimize26

A SMART in HIV clinics asking a real intervention question: when should contingency management be added, and for whom? Yale Professor of Medicine E. Jennifer Edelman presents findings at #IOptimize26. Learn more and register: bit.ly/ioptimize26

Where are optimization methods headed next? At the 2026 Conference on Intervention Optimization, Tianchen Qian, Devin Tomlinson, and Walter Dempsey will explore new experimental designs for intervention optimization. May 18 to 20, 2026 • Bethesda, MD Register: bit.ly/ioptimize26 #IOptimize26
