2026 APS College of Educational & Developmental Psychologists Conference
1. Panel discussion (60 mins)
The purpose of a panel discussion is to spark conversation between a group of experts, industry representatives, and thought leaders. The aim of a panel discussion is to provide the opportunity for the audience to learn from panelists discourse and interaction.
2. Psych-in3 (3 minutes)
- This format provides presenters with the opportunity to promote their research, build their professional brand and increase their network.
- Presenters are required to deliver a highly succinct and engaging presentation strictly timed to 3 minutes and presenters will be asked to stop speaking after 3 minutes. Presentations are limited to one presenter with a single static PowerPoint slide and this is presented in-person.
- This presentation type is not restricted to, but is aimed at, students or recent graduates.
3. Traditional presentation (30 or 60 mins)
This style of presentation suits a lecture style presentation where presenters are speaking to PowerPoint slides and the audience is listening to the presentation.
4. Rapid research presentation (20 minutes)
• In this style of session, you will join other researchers as you are each given 15 minutes to present your research with 5 minutes allowed for Q&A.
• The goal is to present you research succinctly and clearly in a dynamic style that engages your audience with your research topic.
• The number of researchers presenting will depend on the total combined hours of the individual session.
5. Symposium (60 mins)
• Presentation of multiple papers around a central theme or topic hosted by a moderator.
• A suggested format would be four presenters delivering 15-minute presentations within a one-hour session.
6. Masterclass Workshop (2 or 4 hours)
• A workshop is where you intend to use equipment or conduct activities that would require attendees to move around and/or be physically engaged in an activity.
• The APS team will aim to provide you with the equipment and set up you require to provide the activities designed. Please include any requirements you have in your submission.
7. Other presentation types
As you may have gathered from the presentation types, we are after dynamic, fresh and engaging presentations. If the above options don't suit, you are welcome to put forward your own idea for the committee to consider. Please email [email protected]
