Collective Keynote

We're excited for the Psychotherapy Networker Symposium's 50th anniversary, March 18-21, 2027!

This year's theme, Shaping the Future of Psychotherapy, invites us to imagine what's possible for our field. To honor that spirit, we're creating a Collective Keynote featuring voices from across the Symposium community.

If you'd like to be a part of the live keynote event on the Symposium mainstage, we invite you to submit a 2-minute video sharing a brief personal reflection inspired by one of the prompts below. Selected submissions will be PERFORMED LIVE as part of a presentation that showcases the rich, myriad perspectives of our community.
