SECOND WEEKEND – Saturday February 20th – Sunday February 21th
Open Virtual Sessions throughout the day
Poster Session
The 2021 Poster Session will be offered as a virtual gallery. Conference attendees will be able to independently view the posters throughout the conference and engage with poster presenters in real-time during two virtual chat sessions on Saturday February 13 from 5:00-6:00 p.m. Eastern and Saturday February 20 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. Eastern.
Presenters will list the dates they are available to chat as a part of their poster listing on the main Gallery page. During these sessions, attendees will be free to navigate between posters, submit their questions to presenters, and interact in real time using the Chat button on each individual poster page.
This poster session is designed to promote stimulating conversations and mutual learning among psychoanalytic practitioners, theorists, and researchers. Submissions have relevance to psychoanalytic theory, technique, practice and effectiveness of psychoanalysis, or interdisciplinary scholarship addressing research questions in neighboring fields.
This is the 20th annual poster session at the APsaA National Meeting.
Hallway/”Meet At The Clock”
In keeping with the spirit of APsaA’s Waldorf days where attendees would run into colleagues in the hallway or meet a friend at the clock, APsaA will have a Zoom room where participants can meet up with old and new friends throughout the day, have lunch together and network.
