SUMMARY:2022 KPA Annual Convention
DESCRIPTION:
This year’s convention theme is: “Psychology in a Post*-Pandemic World: M
anaging Loss, Maintaining Hope, and Finding Meaning.” We’re excited for you
to join us for 3 days of learning, community, and celebration! Our program
ming this year will focus on moving forward during an ongoing pandemic and
how we can continue to best serve our communities and help heal one another
. As always, there will be opportunities to fulfill domestic violence, sui
cide prevention, ethics, and advanced supervision CE requirements. We are e
xcited about several keynote sessions including those by Dr. Monnica Willia
ms, Dr. Heather Servaty-Seib, and Dr. Brian McNeil! For those attending in
person, please join our wonderful lunch programs to honor our KPA awardees,
hear about the work happening at Young Author’s Greenhouse, and network wi
th psychologists from across the state!
Our spotlight event is in celebration of KPA’s 90th bir
thday! Join us for a dinner and celebration on Friday evening. Tickets incl
ude dinner, dancing, a souvenir gift, and a chance to win a special door pr
ize!
With all of thi
s happening, you may also note that the fees are a little higher than they
have been in the past and we wanted to make sure you understood the reasoni
ng behind the change. There are two main factors driving the increase. Firs
t, audio/visual costs for a hybrid are considerably higher than an exclusiv
ely in person or virtual event. We are working with the hotel to ensure a s
mooth experience for virtual attendees and are configuring our Whova conven
tion app so that all participants can fully engage in our event. The expens
es related to ensuring a smooth event and to have staff available to help u
s troubleshoot is much higher than expenses we incurred when hosting a sole
ly in-person event.
Second, as you all are aware, costs for everything associated with the conv
ention are higher. Our food and beverage costs at the hotel are higher with
steeper penalties for canceling even 6 months out. We are happy that we wi
ll be able to validate parking at the Seelbach so we hope that helps with t
he cost for our in person attendees. We are also seeing increased fees for
our featured speakers and higher travel costs for the speakers we are bring
ing in-person. We have a truly outstanding lineup of speakers this year and
are confident you will see that they are worth it!
We appreciate the challenges we are all fac
ing with the costs of so many things rising. We want to continue to put on
a national quality program here in Kentucky and thank you for support of KP
A and our convention! We are all looking forward to welcoming you in Novemb
er with a handshake, a fist bump, or a hug in-person or a wave via Zoom!
Thank you,
