SCP 2027 Annual Conference: President’s Message
Welcome to the 2027 Society of Consulting Psychology Annual Conference. I’m excited to invite you into a conversation that feels especially timely for our field: how we keep people at the center of our work in an increasingly complex and technology-driven world. This year’s theme, Human-Centered Consulting: Bridging Perspectives, Advancing Practice, reflects both the challenges we’re facing and the opportunities we have to shape the future of consulting psychology. We are committed to delivering a top-quality conference experience, bringing together diverse voices—researchers, practitioners, and leaders—to share ideas and learn from one another.
We’ll gather in beautiful San Diego, California, a setting that offers space to step away from daily demands, reflect, and connect. Surrounded by water, sun, and fresh ocean air, I hope you’ll find inspiration both in the program and in the environment. Whether you’re presenting, attending, or both, I look forward to the ways we will focus on making a meaningful and positive impact on people, organizations, and the world.

Human-Centered Consulting: Bridging Perspectives, Advancing Practice
We are operating in a time of rapid technological change, increasing complexity, and growing divides across disciplines, perspectives, and lived experiences. These shifts are not abstract; they are showing up every day in our work with clients, teams, and organizations.
The 2027 SCP Conference invites proposals that explore how consulting psychologists can keep people at the center of their work while advancing science, strengthening communication across differences, and thoughtfully shaping the role of technology in human systems.
This year’s theme, Human-Centered Consulting: Bridging Perspectives, Advancing Practice, reflects both a challenge and an opportunity to define and elevate what is uniquely human in our work while ensuring that organizations function effectively as human systems.
Join the Conversation
This conference is an opportunity to come together as a community to reflect, learn, and shape the future of consulting psychology. We invite you to bring your ideas, your research, and your experiences to help advance human-centered consulting in a rapidly changing world.
Join Us In Beautiful San Diego
Visiting San Diego feels like stepping into a place where laid-back beach culture meets vibrant city life. The weather is famously mild year-round, making it easy to spend your days outdoors—whether that’s walking along the coastline in La Jolla Cove, watching surfers ride waves at Pacific Beach, or exploring the scenic trails and gardens of Balboa Park. The city’s coastal views, dotted with cliffs and sea lions, create a relaxed but visually striking atmosphere that’s hard to match.
Sights to See, Stories to be Told
Beyond the beaches, San Diego offers a rich mix of culture, food, and history. You can dive into maritime heritage at the USS Midway Museum, stroll through the lively streets of Gaslamp Quarter, or cross into the colorful marketplaces of Old Town for a glimpse of early California life. The food scene is equally memorable, especially if you try the region’s famous fish tacos and fresh seafood. Whether you’re there for relaxation, exploration, or a bit of both, San Diego offers an easygoing experience that still feels full of things to discover.
