Events

ABA International® organizes a convention in North America annually and an international conference every two years. In addition, ABA International hosts smaller, focused events and workshops on a regular basis.

Annual Convention

ABA International's annual convention is held over Memorial Day weekend (the fourth weekend in May) and is attended by more than 4,000 people from over 40 countries. The convention provides a forum for nearly 40 simultaneous events during the day sessions. Presentations surpass 1,500 and contributors number over 3,000. Convention attendees are professors, researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, teachers, parents, and consultants in the field. An exhibit hall features organizations and employers in behavior analysis and a bookstore containing over 1,000 titles is also available. Continuing education for psychologists and certified behavior analysts is also available.

The annual convention offers a lively venue for discussion and networking for anyone interested in the field. We welcome you and all those interested in the philosophy, science, education, and teaching of behavior analysis.

International Conferences and Delegations

International delegations help develop basic and applied behavior analysis in regions of the world where they are not established and may require support.

Workshops and Conferences

In addition to conventions, ABAI periodically provides two-day single-track workshops and conferences that address specific topics. For example, ABAI has organized a workshop on how to receive federal funding. In 2008, ABAI hosted the Education Conference: Evidence Based Practices, Scientifically Based Instruction, and Educational Effectiveness.
