APA 2024

Presenter Toolkit

APA 2024 wouldn’t be possible without our presenters. To give you the best convention experience possible, we’ve developed some tips and resources to help you create an accessible and engaging presentation, promote your session, and have a smooth presenting experience at APA 2024.

All presenters and program participants—members, nonmembers, and students—are required to register for APA 2024 and pay the appropriate registration fees.

Create an Accessible and Inclusive Presentation

We want everyone to be able to go all in at APA 2024, and that means creating a psychologically safe, inclusive, respectful, and welcoming environment for all attendees. Here are some recommendations to make your presentation and supporting materials inclusive and accessible to everyone in your audience, including people with disabilities.

Media Coverage for APA 2024

Media coverage at APA 2024 depends upon the availability of papers. We will be accepting papers by email.

If you feel your presentation may be of interest to reporters covering APA 2024, please email your convention paper(s) to: public.affairs@apa.org by no later than July 15. If the attachment is too large to convey via email, please contact APA Director of Public Affairs Jim Sliwa at jsliwa@apa.org to coordinate an alternate delivery method.

The cover page should list your name, affiliation, address, business phone, email, and title of your paper. Please add “Presented at the 132nd Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association at Seattle, WA, August 8-10, 2024,” and note the day and time of the presentation. Otherwise, please bring a copy to the APA Press Room at the convention on a flash drive at least 24 hours before the presentation.

NOTE: All papers, and their specific findings, are embargoed for release to the media.

Can I present my session remotely?

All division programs will be in-person and not offered virtually. However, divisions may decide on an individual basis to allow sessions that have up to 25% of the speakers participating remotely.* The remaining 75% of the program’s presenters must be present in Seattle, WA. It is advised that presenters contact divisions directly for questions related to the feasibility of virtual participation.

*A remote presentation is a pre-recorded presentation adhering to the same duration requirements as a live presentation. Live streaming is cost prohibitive and can only be considered if a division or session presenters can fund the cost of streaming themselves. Due to space and technology limitations, we may not be able to accommodate all sessions with virtual presenters. If we are unable to accommodate your session’s request, you would be given the opportunity to replace the virtual speaker(s) or withdraw your proposal.

Note: this does not pertain to CE Workshops, which are offered exclusively in-person.
