The SPSSI Graduate Student Committee Preconference will take place on June 25, 2026, immediately preceding the SPSSI Summer Conference, which begins on Friday, June 26 and ends on Sunday, June 28, 2026. Typically, the preconference breakfast begins at 8:30 am and the programming begins at 9:00 am. Programming typically ends by 4 pm, and will be immediately followed by a happy hour event for all preconference attendees. Breakfast and lunch are included as part of the programming and are reflected in the registration fee. 

In this pre-conference, we think about the past, present, and future of psychology, particularly how graduate students can serve as stewards of the field. Graduate students will learn how to get involved in activism and social justice as students, how to incorporate liberative psychology into their work, and how to maintain strength and energy to continue this work, given social and political barriers. 

The program is subject to change and will continue to be updated as more details are confirmed.
