Who We Are

The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) is a membership organization dedicated to advancing scholarship, education, and practice in practical and professional ethics.

Or, as we like to say, we're an organization for the ethically curious.

As a member, you'll get exclusive opportunities and discounts to attend APPE programs, including our annual conference, and more. As a non-member, you can still stay informed by joining our listserv to receive our monthly newsletter and weekly jobs and events postings.

What We Do

Through our signature programs, as well as an annual conference and a variety of programs and events, APPE fosters moral reasoning skill development, works to promote ethical conduct in all sectors of our daily lives, nurtures the next generation of ethical leaders, and seeks to advance civil public discourse on diverse ethical issues.

For more than 30 years, APPE members and non-members have gathered annually to present, network, and discuss today's most relevant topics. The conference welcomes APPE members as well as nonmembers from various disciplines and professions.

This year's conference will be held in Cincinnati from Feb. 22-25, 2024.

The conference includes an Opening Panel, Keynote address, concurrent sessions, an opening reception, and various pre-conference opportunities.
