The social functions at APA Conferences are a renowned highlight of the program. They are always exceptionally well-attended and a wonderful opportunity to network, make new connections and catch up with old friends. Two highlights are the Welcome Reception and the themed Gala Dinner. This year’s program boasts a few new options for you to flex your networking muscles. Check them out!
