STP Annual Conference on Teaching 2026

The 2026 conference is scheduled at the Marriott St. Louis Grand Hotel Downtown in St. Louis, Missouri.

The organizer lists STP members, nonmembers, and faculty; reduced rates are also listed for certain faculty groups and high school teachers, with student rates for undergraduate and graduate students.

It is most useful for psychology faculty, including adjunct and high school teachers, who want to work on teaching methods, since reduced rates apply to affiliate and adjunct faculty, emeritus faculty and high school teachers and student rates cover graduate students. The schedule runs from a Thursday evening reception through Saturday afternoon sessions, so researchers looking for research-focused content rather than pedagogy would get less from it.

Academic teaching conferences usually call for business casual, such as slacks, sweaters or collared shirts, and comfortable shoes for a hotel-based program.
