CONFERENCES: International Convention Program

From Keith Cooke, kcooke@APA.ORG:

The International Office has compiled a booklet listing Convention
programming that has an international focus as well as selected sessions
of general interest,
http://www.apa.org/convention/international-program.pdf. At the end of
the booklet you will find an alphabetical list of international speakers
and presenters, arranged by country. To download the booklet, and to
see more about international activities at convention, visit
http://www.apa.org/convention/programming/international/index.aspx.

Highlights include a unique roundtable event to develop international
study and service opportunities. Psychologists, faculty and graduate
students will learn how to develop their own international learning
through study and service experiences, including developing courses and
logistics, syllabi and activities.
