Conference Overview
For 35 years, APPE members and non-members have gathered annually to present, network, and discuss today's most relevant topics.
This year's conference will be held in St. Louis, March 5-8, 2026.
The conference will include an Opening Plenary, Keynote address, concurrent sessions, an opening reception, and various pre-conference opportunities.
One of the most popular features of the conference is the "Book Room" which includes exhibitor and publisher tables and provides attendees and publishers a chance to network.
The APPE Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl® is also held in conjunction with the annual APPE conference and many attendees serve as judges and moderators for the competition.
There is a one-day virtual component, to be held April 10, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
This year, the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) invites proposals for its annual conference that explore the question, What Do We Owe Each Other? In today’s complex world, what are our ethical responsibilities to each other? How do these responsibilities shift in times of crisis and catastrophe, or across our professional or personal lives? How do we stand up for what’s right—when it matters most, and when it seems to matter least?
