For a second year, the PSPA is proud to co-sponsor a special event at the 2026 AAPA Conference in New Orleans: “Pride & Connection: A Social Gathering for All” on Friday May 15th, at 7:30PM at Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel, Floor 3, in the Magazine Room.  

This event will feature food, drinks, and mocktails in a welcoming, alcohol-free environment. Our goal is to intentionally create a space that is inclusive of sober colleagues, PA students, and all members of our community who value connection in a supportive and accessible setting.

We strongly believe in offering inclusive social opportunities that reflect the diverse needs of our profession. “Pride & Connection” is designed to foster meaningful engagement, strengthen inter-organizational collaboration, and promote a culture of belonging within AAPA.  The main organizers of the event are the LBGT Caucus and Society of PAs in Addiction Medicine, but many other constituent organizations, in addition to the PSPA are co-sponsoring this event.

Please join us for this reception at the AAPA Conference.
