7 DAYS TO GO!
PsySSA Congress 2026 Is Almost Here
One week to go. The final countdown has begun!
In just 7 days, the psychology community will come together for the PsySSA 30th Annual Psychology Congress, taking place from 13 to 15 October 2026 at Emperors Palace, Johannesburg.
After months of planning, preparation and anticipation, we are almost ready to welcome you.
Congress 2026 brings together psychologists, researchers, practitioners, academics, students and colleagues from across the discipline to exchange ideas, challenge perspectives, build connections and engage with the questions shaping psychology and the future of care.
Three days. Seven parallel venues. One psychology community.
Across three packed days, delegates can look forward to a diverse scientific and professional programme featuring oral presentations, symposia, roundtables, conversations, poster sessions and interactive experiences.
AI Live: Humanity, Technology & the Future of Care
Among this year’s highlights is AI Live: Humanity, Technology & the Future of Care, bringing psychology into conversation with artificial intelligence and the rapidly evolving opportunities, questions and challenges surrounding technology and care.
Beyond the sessions, Congress is also about connection and community. Meet our exhibitors, reconnect with colleagues, build new professional relationships and experience the energy of the wider psychology community.
When Day 1 ends, the PLAY begins!
On Tuesday, 13 October at 18:45, join us for the Psychology Playground, our special Congress social experience and an opportunity to celebrate PsySSA’s milestone 30th Annual Psychology Congress together.
Step away from the formal programme, unwind and enjoy an evening of fun, connection and a few surprises.
