SCP 2026 Annual Conference: Presidents Message
Welcome to the homepage of the 2026 Society of Consulting Psychology Annual Conference to be held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada! This year’s theme—“Level Up: Expanding Impact, Elevating Practice”—is both a call to action and an opportunity to showcase who we are as consulting psychologists and the unique value we bring to the world.
Level Up! challenges us to push the boundaries of our expertise—enhancing our skills, adopting innovative methodologies, and integrating emerging technologies to better serve our clients as individuals, teams, and organizations. But leveling up isn’t just about personal and professional growth—it’s about shaping the future of our profession. Consulting psychology plays a critical role in today’s business landscape, and we must actively define how our expertise is perceived by decision makers ranging from corporate executives to policymakers and beyond. This is our opportunity to increase our visibility and influence, ensuring that our work drives organizational success, leadership development, and policy impact.
The SCP Annual Conference is a time for renewal:
-
A space to learn—engaging with thought leaders and cutting-edge evidence-informed practices that will shape the future of our field.
-
A space to connect—building relationships with peers, mentors, and emerging voices in consulting psychology.
-
A space to grow—expanding our consulting toolkit and refining our professional identity in a supportive, empowering, and dynamic environment.
As we come together, we will push beyond traditional boundaries, tackle complex challenges with renewed energy, and contribute to the growth, credibility, and recognition of our field. Level Up underscores the power of continuous learning, strategic branding, collaboration, and advocacy in strengthening our profession’s influence.
For those attending for the first time—welcome! You’ll find SCP to be an inclusive, collaborative community where your perspectives are valued. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner, an early-career consultant, or a student exploring the field, this conference is a place to contribute, learn, and elevate your practice.
As we engage in this journey together, let’s be intentional about fostering a culture of mutual respect, responsibility, and integrity:
-
Mutual Respect—Honoring the breadth of experiences, perspectives, and approaches in our profession.
-
Responsibility—Creating an environment that supports meaningful dialogue and professional growth.
-
Integrity—Grounding our work in the science of psychology and the highest ethical standards.
Together, we can forge stronger relationships with key stakeholders, navigate the rapidly evolving business landscape, and ensure consulting psychology is positioned as a driving force in leadership and organizational excellence.
Now is the time to level up—not just for ourselves, but for the future of consulting psychology.
I look forward to seeing you in Las Vegas in February 2026!
