It is my pleasure to invite you to Florence Italy for the 31st International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP). Our congress will take place from 21-25 July, 2026. It promises to offer new and exciting opportunities to learn, exchange ideas, reconnect with colleagues, meet new people from around the globe, and work together to advance the science and practice of applied psychology. ICAP is the flagship congress of the International Association of Applied Psychology (IAAP), an association born more than 100 years ago. As our world becomes increasingly connected and complex, the need for international psychology grows. IAAP serves as a professional home for applied psychologists wishing to expand their international knowledge base and network. IAAP’s mission is to promote the science and practice of applied psychology and to facilitate interaction and communication among applied psychologists around the world. ICAP plays a key role in this mission. What makes ICAP 2026 so special
