Dear colleagues,
We invite applications to give a talk or attend the 9th annual New Directions in Research on the Psychology of Technology conference, taking place on November 14–15, 2025 in Washington DC hosted by the University of Virginia Darden Business School.
This is a small conference that brings together a highly curated group of leading scholars and industry thinkers who share a common interest: understanding how technology is shaping human experience-and how we can guide its evolution toward meaningful, human-centered outcomes.
This year's theme is: Promoting Human Flourishing Through Purpose-Driven AI.
For Faculty: If you are interested in giving a research talk (15-20-minutes with time for Q&A), please complete https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeinAtvCOFqp-DJpmILuJm2PodTiPkYWA-LwBTG8JsWercq4Q/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=108410686836787369176__;!!LIr3w8kk_Xxm!qrTnbs6YKXwDGxABu4aTm4Y-1kJ5Sci8KJQI9yxC2jRSImmrlIX54dxcelnClk20boI0uF7kz2IjA5Q_iqC7KUqpGkg00IoAo_deYOg$.
