General Program Information
After two years of virtual conferences, it is exciting that APA 2022 Conventionopens in new window will bring the community back together in person in Minneapolis and offer some sessions on a virtual platform as well. Similar to the previous two years, this year’s convention will be three days long, from Thursday, August 4 through Saturday, August 6. This year, Division 5’s sessions cover the division’s three sections roughly equally and provide different ways for the audience to interact with the presenters and to network (Data-Blitz, Skill-Building, Symposium, Posters, Social Hour, and Mentoring Event). In addition, the Division 5 awards ceremony will be virtual and available for viewing on the division’s YouTube channel.
Registration, and the full APA 2022 program, are available on the APA 2022 Conventionopens in new window website. There is an APA 2022 app available to browse and search the full program. The online versionopens in new window of the program is easy to navigate if you are in front of a computer.
