SASP 2024 pre-conference EOI
Four potential pre-conference rooms have been secured for 9-5pm on Sunday the 23rd November 2024. These rooms range in size for a capacity of 50 to 100 and are suitable for talks and workshops depending on how you want to arrange the chairs.
Pre-conferences can run the full day or half day to allow for travel on the morning of the 23rd (which may be a popular option given the cost of accommodation, especially on the Saturday night). The rooms are free so the only costs involved would be if you decided to provide lunch/snacks/coffee etc for attendees.
If you are interested in hosting a pre-conference, please send a brief one pager to Michelle Ryan () outlining the broad topic, the aim of the pre-conference, approximate number of attendees, and the the organisers.

SASP 2024 post-conference: Environmental Psychology
Upscaling environmental psychology for social and policy change, the SASP Post-conference on Environmental Psychology in conjunction with the 2024 Annual SASP conference, will be held the afternoon of Wednesday 27th November 2024 1-5pm, Canberra, Australia.
The afternoon will involve several keynote presentations, a series of lightening talks, and an interactive workshop/discussion session to end the day.
