Testimonials from CPA2026

“The first-time attendee reception was a good opportunity to meet others who were new to CPA – and most of whom were fellow students.  This provided opportunities to hear from other students how they are using their current research projects to chart their academic and professional careers in the next few years.”

“Super grateful for the space, food, and meaningful connections! I felt welcomed, included, and inspired. As a doctoral student of color, I had the opportunity to connect with other psychologists who shared similar backgrounds and offered encouragement to keep growing my passion for the field of psychology. This affinity space felt like a lighthouse! It truly felt like a place I could return to for connection and inspiration, even as I venture out to explore and grow.”

“Always enjoy the opportunity to connect and re-connect with vendors/build ongoing relationships.  Appreciated having them for all three days, as well as addition of local indigenous jewelry.”

“Thank you for all your wonderful work in coordinating and improving the programming for the CPA Conventions. It is a tremendous undertaking and does not go unnoticed. I plan on being a lifelong affiliate/member and look forward to the convention each year.”

“Warm kudos to the organizing team! It was such a well-organized convention, and the small things that make a convention a wonderful experience were well considered. Coffee was available, and spaces to sit and meet with other attendees were available (and used well!). This perfectly set the stage for networking, developing new collaboration possibilities, talking through ideas that were presented, and made the experience so much more than sitting and listening to research presentations (as pleasant as that also is).”

“I was quite pleased with the diversity and quality of the work presented at the conference. I haven’t attended CPA for many years but plan to join as a member and make the conference a regular part of my conference routine!”
