American Psychological Association Convention

The annual APA Convention is always a rich smorgasboard of learning and networking opportunities. Division 44 highlights include the annual Presidential Address, the Awards Ceremony at which we honor the contributors to LGBT psychology, symposia on cutting-edge research and practice, and poster sessions. Programming in the Division hospitality suite offers additional time to delve into materials from the formal program and social events including a student party. Finally, our social hour is the place to meet and greet your friends every year. If you come to APA Convention you have a home in the Division 44 program.
