Join us for the 2026 APA Animal Summit at the APA Convention in Washington, DC, August 6-8, 2026!
My name is Nina Ekholm Fry (University of Denver, Institute for Human-Animal Connection) and along with my colleagues Grant Rich (Walden University), Harold Takooshian (Fordham University), Scott Churchill (University of Dallas), and Holly Hargreaves-Cormany (Marymount University) we are the 2026 co-chairs of the APA Animal Summit, which has taken place annually at the APA Convention since 2017.
The APA Animal Summit highlights the impact of human interactions with animals in psychology within areas of research, practice, and teaching. The purpose of the Interdivisional APA Animal Summit poster session and networking meeting is to facilitate the exchange, application, and dissemination of scientific information about interactions between humans and animals in psychology. The APA Animal Summit and the associated Animal Network consist of individuals interested in human-animal interactions across divisions and scholarly areas.

The 2026 Animal Summit is hosted by Division 6 (Society for Behavioral Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology) with support from Division 1 (Society for General Psychology and Interdisciplinary Inquiry), Division 2 (Society for the Teaching of Psychology), Division 3 (Society for Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science), Division 7 (Developmental Psychology), Division 9 (Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues), Division 20 (Adult Development and Aging), Division 21 (Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology), Division 22 (Rehabilitation Psychology), Division 24 (Society for Theoretical and Philosophical Psychology), Division 25 (Behavior Analysis), Division 28 (Society for Psychopharmacology and Substance Use), Division 32 (Society for Humanistic Psychology), Division 33 (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities/Autism Spectrum Disorder), Division 34 (Society for Environmental, Population and Conservation Psychology), Division 35 (Society for the Psychology of Women), Division 41 (American Psychology-Law Society), and Division 46 (Society for Media Psychology and Technology).
