"(I liked the) thought-provoking sessions on difficult topics. Also, (there were) great ideas to take back from poster presentations. (It gave me the) ability to meet people in my field."
2025 Conference In-Person Attendee

"This was my first time attending (the) AAHRPP (conference) and it was an absolute pleasure to be at a mid-sized conference with such engaged colleagues and thought leaders. I really loved the deep-dive sessions!"
2025 Conference First Time Attendee

"...I highly recommend the virtual option as a great way to attend the conference. It was easy to review and enjoy the different posters (online). The AV team at the conference did a great job to make sure audio and visual connections stayed strong."

…In a time of pressure on funding, why would we spend money on AAHRPP accreditation? I can tell you now from a sponsor perspective, when we see an institution, organization, CRO that's AAHRPP accredited, we breathe a sigh of relief…It gives us reassurance that human subjects are protected…when we see that badge of approval, it gives us immense confidence that institutions are doing the right things...
