Join APA in New Orleans and Online
APA is gathering in-person for the first time since 2019, in the birthplace of jazz, New Orleans! We’ll also offer an online option of connecting from your home to the strongest scientific program in psychiatry.
APA is keeping a close watch on the evolving COVID-19 situation and protecting the health and safety of our attendees is paramount. All in-person Annual Meeting attendees and contractors must be fully vaccinated and must wear a face mask during all indoor activities at APA’s 2022 Annual Meeting. Read more about safety considerations here.
An Excellent Scientific Program
APA is looking forward to presenting an excellent scientific program in a safe and welcoming in-person environment at New Orleans’ Ernest N. Morial Convention Center & through an immersive virtual experience.
Over 1,200 abstracts were submitted by some of the most brilliant minds in mental health. The program is set to include a total of 300 scientific sessions, 3 plenary sessions, and 1,000 posters.
- Clinical Updates track will be introduced this year, focusing on knowledge exchange to provide attendees with tangible tools they can take back to their practices.
The Annual Meeting Experience
We’re excited to bring back unique parts of the APA Annual Meeting experience, like our Convocation of Distinguished Fellows, our bustling exhibit hall, business meetings where you can connect with top innovators in the field, and all those serendipitous moments that occur when thousands of APA members and other mental health advocates get together in person. In the three-day virtual experience, attendees have access to top-notch content and faculty as well as ample networking opportunities with peers. And, we're adding a few new surprises that will make our 2022 meeting even better.
About In-Person and Online Options
APA will provide a blended experience for attendees, with both an in-person experience followed by a smaller online experience two-weeks later.
Everyone who attends the in-person experience has access to the full experience two-weeks after New Orleans, which includes exclusive virtual content you do not want to miss! And if in-person isn’t right for you, register for the virtual experience and also get access to the top sessions from our APA Annual Meeting On Demand product.
