2nd Annual Rorschach Performance Assessment System® (R-PAS®) in Multimethod Assessment Conference
in Portland, OR
May 8-10, 2025
Join us in Portland, OR!
We are excited to announce that our 2nd Annual R-PAS® in Multimethod Assessment Conference will be held from May 8-10, 2025 in Portland, Oregon.
What is this conference about?
Like the Inaugural Conference, our second conference will be centered around multimethod assessment with a focus on R-PAS®. Based on our first conference, we anticipate an equal balance between case and research presentations, which makes this conference well-suited for clinicians and researchers.
How will the conference be structured?
There will be a pre-conference workshop day on Thursday, May 8th, 2025. During this day, six 3-hour workshops will be offered for an in-depth learning experience.
On Thursday night, a pre-conference buffet dinner (prices to follow) will be held with optional attendance. In 2024, about half the conference attendees joined the dinner.
On Friday and Saturday, May 9-10, the 2-day conference will be held. The conference will consist of several 1.5-hour symposiums, opening and closing plenaries, and poster presentations.
An optional free 2.5 hour pre-conference workshop (early Thursday evening) on conducting Rorschach research will be provided by R-PAS co-developer Joni L. Mihura, Ph.D., ABAP
On Friday night, there will be a reception with free drinks and light appetizers.
For attendees who book their room at the conference hotel, we recently added a special free rooftop breakfast each of the 3 mornings before the workshop and conference.
