Engage in Dynamic Art Therapy Learning Opportunities
Content consists entirely of unique sessions not offered at the AATA2026 in-person conference. The Virtual Conference will include sessions in 8 program tracks. Attendees will be able to receive up to 27 Continuing Education credits.
All CE sessions will be recorded – so if you aren’t able to join in real time on Nov. 14 – 15, you’ll be able to watch later.
Connect with Art Therapists from Around the World on a Platform Designed for Us!
We are again using BeSpeake, a custom platform that focuses on a more connected attendee experience with real-time technology support. Plus:
- Interactive, small group discussions, including Shared Interest Groups (SIG) mini-sessions
- Informal, morning “coffee-chats” to meet new people
- Break-out sessions to ask questions of presenters
- Art-making opportunities
Coffee not included! 🙂

Gain Distinction as an Exhibitor or Sponsor
Similar to the In-person Conference, the Virtual Conference offers organizations and art supply companies visibility through event marketing and promotional materials. Our virtual platform also will showcase their supplies or offerings in the Exhibit Hall, or with live, virtual demonstrations to attendees.
Gain distinction among the art therapy community, including art therapy practitioners, clinicians, researchers, educators, and students!
