You can earn documented continuing professional development credits on site in NASP Convention Workshops (3 or 6 hours each) and Documented Sessions (1.25 hours each), and by purchasing Session Recording Packages (up to 10.25 hours each) for viewing at a later date. All sessions are NASP-approved, and NASP is also approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. NASP maintains responsibility for this program and its content.

Yes. NASP's Roommate Locator Assistance Service lets you find a roommate for the convention and significantly reduces your hotel costs.

We have tools that you can use to help explain the value of attending the convention to your supervisor, including talking points and a customizable letter that you can download.

The deadline to submit a proposal for the 2024 convention has passed. The next annual convention will be held February 18–21, 2025, in Seattle, WA. The Call for Presentation Proposals information for the 2025 convention will be available on site in New Orleans, LA, and on the NASP website thereafter.

A map of the Exhibit Hall will be in your registration packet when you check in on site, and the Exhibit Hall Handbook will be available for download online closer to the convention. You also can view a list of exhibitors and make a checklist of the booths you wish to visit using the NASP convention app launching in January 2024.

Setup of booths in the Exhibit Hall takes two and a half days to complete. The exhibitors also need time to stock the booths.

Setup of booths in the Exhibit Hall takes multiple days to complete. The exhibitors also need time to stock the booths.

More than half of the entities that purchase booths have only one representative present. Exhibitor rules require that booths be staffed at all times. The booth hours are planned to accommodate reasonable work schedules and, even then, brief absences to attend personal needs may be necessary.

For the past few years, many employers/recruiters have had Exhibit Hall booths to promote their organizations and solicit candidates. On-site interviews have been handled in a variety of ways, but they are not organized through NASP. Some have interviewed within the confines of the booth. Others have found appropriate spots in the hall, or public areas in the hotels or convention center to meet candidates.

Registration for the New Orleans Express Virtual Package includes live streaming of the eight Documented Sessions—all of which will include closed captioning, sign language interpretation, and opportunity to engage in live chat with other virtual attendees. Attendees will also have access to the General Session and 50 handpicked poster presentations.

Yes, you can earn Category A documented professional development credit by watching these sessions live/in real-time, staying until the end, and completing an evaluation and affidavit after the session is complete.

Yes; however, you will no longer qualify for Category A CPD credit. Instead, upon completion, you would be eligible for Category H CPD credit (self-study). You will have access to Documented Sessions on-demand for 60 days following the convention.

No, we are not offering a virtual Exhibit Hall experience this year.

We have tools that you can use to help explain the value of purchasing the New Orleans Express Virtual Package and watching live sessions virtually, including talking points and a customizable letter that you can download.

This is the only Special Event that is by invitation only, for a small group of people being recognized by President Price for their help this year.

Because of time limitations, this year’s virtual convention will include the educational program only and no Meetings or Special Interest Group networking sessions.

The virtual challenge is a friendly competition that encourages attendees to engage with one another while earning badges and points for each achievement reached. The more you do, the more points and badges you receive, which makes you eligible for prizes.

We will process those points on Thursday, so they will not appear earlier in the week.

Prizes are not transferrable and cannot be exchanged for other prizes or cash value.
