The 8th IPPA World Congress on Positive Psychology is taking place in Vancouver, Canada from 20 to 23 July, 2023.It has been a long few years since we have had the opportunity to come together in person as a community. Indeed, this World Congress is all about coming together, • to advance the science and research-based applications of positive psychology; • to foster collaboration between researchers, teachers, students and practitioners; and • to share the findings of our field with the broadest audience. In addition to bringing you the latest innovations from leading experts in the science, practice, and education of positive psychology and the broader field of wellbeing, it is our goal that the very experience of this World Congress be designed from the principles we study. We know this will be a very special World Congress. But only if you are there with us. After all, if there’s one thing we can say with confidence after years of research and practice in this field: we are better together.
