An Invitation to Register

If you are not already a member of IPPA we encourage you to consider joining prior to registration to be part of a supportive global networking community.

Overseas travellers will need a Visa to enter Australia. We’ve outlined all the important details on the Congress website. To further assist you in this process, when you register, you’ll receive a visa invitation letter that will help facilitate your Australian visa application, ensuring your journey to Brisbane is as smooth as possible.

To make your planning easier, we’ve curated a selection of accommodations that you can conveniently book through the registration form, choosing from our excellent range of Brisbane hotels.

Our program features an array of keynote talks, workshops and interactive sessions led by eminent, as well as emerging experts, in the field. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, gain insights from cutting-edge research and share their own experiences and innovations in positive psychology.

We are also excited to offer various social events and excursions that highlight Brisbane’s unique connection to nature and culture. Ample opportunities to connect with peers, exchange ideas and form lasting professional relationships.

Brisbane, known for its warm climate, stunning riverfront and thriving cultural scene, offers the perfect backdrop for our Congress. As we gather in this dynamic city, we aim to foster an environment of learning, collaboration, and inspiration among scholars, practitioners and enthusiasts of positive psychology from around the globe.

From exploring the lush South Bank parklands to engaging with the rich Indigenous heritage of the region, we encourage you to immerse yourself in all that this vibrant city has to offer. With so many fun activities within easy access, partners and families will also cherish their time in this city. Activities include nature walks, visits to stunning islands and maybe even some time with koalas and kangaroos! The foodies will also love Brisbane. I have had a chance to sample many of these activities and I’m confident you will be spoilt for choice.

I and the members of the Organising Committee look forward to welcoming you to Brisbane for an unforgettable IPPA World Congress, where together we will advance the science and practice of positive psychology and at the same time have some fun and renew ourselves.
