PPA Annual Convention
The Pennsylvania Psychological Association Convention is coming back to Pittsburgh in June 2027. Connect with like-minded professionals and earn up to 30 CE credits required for license renewal.
The PPA Convention was established to inspire members to apply our knowledge and skills to improve mental well-being and community welfare. Our goal is to translate our science into practice for our patients and the communities we live in.
We hope you will join us in Western Pennsylvania for the next PPA Convention!
PPA2027: Systemic Healing Starts With a Single Connection
True transformation is rarely a single, dramatic event — it is a resonance that grows over time. At this year’s convention, we gather under the banner “Single Impact, Infinite Echo,” grounded in the belief that the most profound systemic change begins with the individual.
As psychologists, we often serve as the catalysts for that change. Our work unfolds within a complex web of human relationships, where even one clinical breakthrough or a moment of genuine empathy can spark a psychological butterfly effect. When we facilitate healing in one person, the benefits ripple outward — touching families, workplaces, and entire communities.
Our mission for this convention is to equip practitioners with the tools to initiate these single impacts. By focusing on the power of small but meaningful catalysts, we acknowledge our unique responsibility to help guide the course of collective mental health and broader systemic change. We are not merely treating symptoms — we are setting in motion echoes of resilience and well-being. The hope for this convention’s work is that these efforts will extend beyond us and the clients we serve today, persisting and reverberating systemically across time.
