Events
ABA International® organizes a convention in North America annually and
an international conference every two years. In addition, ABA International hosts
single-track focused events and workshops throughout the year.
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.
