Program

Highlights

Don’t miss the plenary sessions, when dozens of big-name psychologists will share the latest in research, practice and teaching.

New this year is the Convention Within the Convention. This special programming coordinated by APA President James H. Bray, PhD, features 97 hours of programming organized into specialized tracks for both scientists and practitioners.

Dr. Bray's presidential programming highlights the work of his task forces on homelessness, the future of psychology practice and psychological science's future as a science, technology, engineering and mathematics discipline.

Various groups within APA also have their own program tracks. Check out the Public Interest program highlights, APA Graduate Students program schedule or American Psychological Foundation lectures, for example.

If you're a researcher, learn about science programming and read a scientist's guide to the convention.

Are you a psychology teacher? You'll find specialized programming for community college teachers plus programming for secondary school teachers.

Looking for a job? Convention attendees can find job opportunities and career resources inside the APA Exhibit Hall.
