    Behavioral Science & Policy Association

    Annual Conference 2025

    The Behavioral Science & Policy Association (BSPA) will hold its annual conference online, May 1-2, 2025. More than 500 leading behavioral scientists, policy makers, executives, and members of the media are expected to attend. All the programming, uniquely fit for digital, will be hosted online with live streaming and interactive sessions from 11am-5pm (EST).

    BSPA is seeking proposals by February 28, 2025, for short presentations highlighting issues relating to key areas in which behavioral scientists could have significant influence on policy. Each area will be introduced by an invited keynote speaker, followed by a handful of compelling 8-minute presentations.

    Policy Area
    Poverty & Financial Wellbeing

    Healthcare

    Environment & Sustainability

    Organizational/Management

    Justice & Ethics

    Education

    Each short presentation session is designed to inform and influence academics, policy makers, and managers.  Presentations may demonstrate recent key research findings (potentially from multiple papers) with meaningful implications for policy and practice and need not present new work-in-progress. These presentations should not be highly technical.
