Thank you for your interest in inviting an APA expert to speak at your upcoming event. 

APA’s mission is to use psychology to benefit society and improve lives. We welcome the opportunity to engage audiences of all types and sizes in coordination with organizations working to make a positive impact on critical societal issues.  We are eager to share how psychology is a vital tool in achieving success with those efforts.  

APA routinely works with other non-profits, corporations, academic institutions, media outlets, policymakers, and others to elevate the public’s understanding of, regard for, and use of psychology and psychological science.

To allow adequate time for your request to be reviewed, please complete the form at least 2 months in advance of your event.
