2027 SPA Convention & Workshops 

If you work with—or are studying—personality and psychological assessment, the SPA Annual Workshops & Convention is where clinicians, researchers, educators, students, and thought leaders come together to advance the field.

As the only conference dedicated entirely to assessment, SPA offers in-depth training on instruments such as the MMPI, Rorschach, PAI, and performance-based methods, alongside cutting-edge research, case-based presentations, and practical applications for clinical and forensic practice. Whether you are a student beginning your assessment journey or an experienced professional looking to deepen your expertise, you will gain valuable insights, meaningful connections, and tools you can immediately apply to your work.

Additional convention details, including the program, speakers, and registration information, will be announced as they become available.
