Events

The PA hosts a number of events, both online and in person:

The PA Convention is our annual meeting, where the international community comes together to present, discuss and analyze the scientific and scholar study of ESP, mind-matter interaction, and survival. The 2023 PA Convention will take place in Oslo, Norway. Learn more here:

The Psi Agora is a free, online, members-only space opened on the 5th of each month (11am EST) to gather for conversation around a selection of "table" topics. The objective is to replicate, in a virtual platform, some of the social dynamics that happen at conventions or other consciousness-related gatherings.

The Online Symposia are one-day events focused on specific parapsychological topics and chaired by PA Professional Members; currently these symposia take place quarterly. Abstracts of presented papers, and videos including Q&A, are available for our members.

The Parapsychological Association is an international professional organization of scientists and scholars engaged in the study of psi (or 'psychic') experiences, such as telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, psychic healing, and precognition. First established in 1957, the PA has been an affiliated organization of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 1969.

The mission of the PA is to:

Promote scholarship and scientific inquiry into currently unexplained aspects of human experience
Disseminate responsible information to the wider public and to the scientific community
Integrate this information with knowledge from other disciplines

As a non-profit, non-adjudicating organization, the PA endorses no ideologies or beliefs other than the value of rigorous scientific and scholarly inquiry. There is a level of membership for everyone interested in the scientific and scholarly advancement of parapsychology. Join or donate today.
