Meeting your professional development needs at ICAP 2010
With only a few weeks until the 27th International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP 2010) in Melbourne, now is the time to finalise how your professional development (PD) needs can best be met at the Congress. For registered ICAP delegates, it's time to select and register for workshops, and to identify which keynote addresses and papers are of particular interest to you. For those yet to register or considering a day registration, make sure you view the updated program, choose the sessions of interest to you and enrol in any workshops you wish to attend. ICAP 2010 is certainly an international psychology event unlikely to return to Australia in your professional lifetime. The Congress incorporates this year's APS Annual Conference, so it is also an opportunity to hear the latest updates in the Australian professional practice scene, given all the recent and impending changes. In addition, as ICAP 2010 is being held after the commencement of the new national registration scheme in July, participation in the Congress can assist you to substantially meet most of your mandatory PD requirements for the first cycle under the new scheme.
