Celebrating 25 years of AEDP
In-Person in New York City or Live Online
3 days: Friday – Sunday, April 4 – 6, 2025
In April, AEDP community from around the world will gather in New York City for 3 days of learning, laughing, and becoming inspired, TOGETHER at last!
The 2025 Conference, In It Together, will be held both online and in-person at the legendary Webster Hall in downtown Manhattan where invited speakers from within and beyond the AEDP community will grace the same stage that world famous musicians and speakers have performed on for more than 140 years.
The conference is designed in instruct and inspire therapists of all levels of AEDP skill and interest. Check out the agenda and list of speakers and topics below. Most presentations work to refresh, deepen and refine your AEDP practice and include illuminating clinical video, live demonstrations and / or in-person dialogues with clients reflecting on their treatments. In addition there will be two research talks which are certain to spark exciting conversations with your colleagues as they bridge the researcher-clinician divide. And finally you can expect to hear inspiring shorts – Ted Talk® style presentations that present AEDP treatment in a larger social context or in fascinating niche scenarios.
