The ASPO conference takes place every year. It is the largest meeting sponsored by the Association, and provides an opportunity for members to meet and discuss their work with a large proportion of the membership. It is also the occasion on which the Members Meeting takes place, where, among others, new members of the Board are announced.
Next ASPO Conference
The 2026 ASPO conference takes place 9-10 December in Amsterdam.
