The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) is delighted to announce the introduction of a Pan-American Conference to the suite of conferences, congresses and events that take place globally.
IASP Congresses and conferences aim to provide a collaborative opportunity for shared learning and expert thinking related to suicide and suicide prevention, bringing together a diverse community of academics, researchers, practitioners, lived experience, and all associated with suicide prevention or working within suicide prevention related topics.
The Pan-American Conference is a development of the IASP Caribbean Symposium which originated in Suriname in 2013 and continued biennially to the IASP Caribbean Symposium in Trinidad and Tobago in 2019. Establishing a biennial regional conference across the Pan American (North, Central and South) region acknowledges the need to expand opportunities for shared learning in suicide prevention and enables IASP to continue servicing members and delegates in the Pan-American region with a full conference program for our multi-sectoral audiences.
IASPs first Pan-American Conference will take place in November 2024.
The 2024 conference will follow the 11th Asia Pacific Conference of the International Association for Suicide Prevention which will take place in Bangkok, Thailand in May 2024.
