Psychological Association
The annual APA convention will be held August 10th - 13th
in New Orleans, Lousiana. APA conventions are designed
to provide a forum in which
members
may present their
scientific
and
scholarly
work, present a general program that will be informative
and of interest to all members of the association,
facilitate the exchange of experience relating to the applications
of psychology, and provide a place where the business
of the association can be carried on efficiently.
Convention programs are developed by the several substantive
divisions of APA and include symposia, paper and poster sessions,
invited addresses, discussions, workshops, and so on. Meetings
for the 114th APA Annual Convention are scheduled in the
Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, the Hilton New Orleans
Riverside Hotel, and the New Orleans Marriott Hotel. APA
will provide shuttle buses among these three facilities.
