2020 Online Conference
We are happy to announce our plans for the Online version of our conference for 2020! The conference will take place between July 15-20 and will include a mix of asynchronous and synchronous presentations. Synchronous presentations will be scheduled for July 16th and 17th (the original dates of the conference). Participants will have until the 20th to interact asynchronously with other conference delegates through a closed conference system. Presenters will have the option to choose between a variety of presentation formats: posters, papers, GIMME-5 (5 minute talks), Brief Oral Presentations (10-12 minutes), Oral Presentations (15-20 minutes), Symposia/Panel Presentations (1 - 1.5 hours, 3 to 5 presenters), Workshops (30-2 hours), and Roundtable Discussions (20-60 minutes).
Please see our FAQ page for more information.
Venue
Join us at the state of the art Cubex Centrum Praha, one of Prague’s newest and most cutting edge conference venues. The interiors are designed to reflect Czech cubist architecture and provide flexible meeting spaces with high-tech 4k presentation systems. Most importantly for a group of international delegates, Cubex is easy to get to! It is located just 100m from a metro station and is situated between a hotel and a modern shopping centre.
For those attending the International Congress of Psychology, Cubex is only a 1.8km walk or one subway stop away, meaning that you can easily pick the same hotel for your entire stay in Prague. If you choose to stay in the historical centre of Prague (which we highly recommend), you’ll still easily make your way to Cubex using public transportation. If you haven’t travelled in Prague before, we’ll make sure that it’s easy for you by providing meeting points where you can find others attending the conference to navigate the city with! Finally, Cubex is LGBTQ friendly and happily agreed (and understood) our request to have at gender neutral restroom facilities.

#Preach2018 is coming to an end. It's been a rollercoaster of emotion! Amazing stories, research, experiences and people who have come here from all over the world. It's not often that you go to a conference that feels special. This one definitely does. pic.twitter.com/0oMCj1Vn6O

More than 79 different locations represented among the 115 delegates of #Preach2018! 6 of the 7 continents are represented. We must do better next time to represent the Gay Penguins from Antarctica! pic.twitter.com/CyEQC8kZek
