WPPA’s 10th Annual Conference

May 29-31, 2026

Claremont, CA, USA hosted by Claremont Graduate University (CGU)

Supported by Rekhi Singh Foundation for Happiness & the Claremont Flourishing Center 

In this milestone year, celebrating the Western Positive Psychology Association’s 10th Anniversary and Claremont Graduate University’s Centennial, we invite you to join us for the WPPA Conference themed “Flourishing in Challenging Times.”

Guided by Viktor Frankl’s enduring insight – “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves” – the conference spotlights human agency, resilience, personal growth, and the quest for meaning & purpose in adversity. Join scholars, practitioners, and students as we explore how positive psychology empowers us to thrive even in the face of challenges.

We are pleased to announce that our Conference Chair will be Tatiana Shemiakina.
