Each year, clinical neuropsychologists from around the world convene for the AACN’s Annual Conference. This event brings together psychologists with similar interests for educational workshops and networking events. No matter what your role in the field, the AACN conference offers master workshops and advanced training for all members and non-members alike.

- How to Handle Depositions and Trial Testimony

- An Introduction to the MMPI-3 for Forensic Neuropsychologists
- The Role of Neuropsychologists in Social Justice Advocacy
- Update to the DSM-5 Text Revision (DSM-5-TR)
- Frontotemporal Dementia: State of the Science and Practice Recommendations

Welcome to the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology. This 21st Annual Meeting will likely be memorable for the extraordinary quality and diversity of the conference program.
Our Program Chair, Dr. Julie Janecek, has assembled workshops and special educational events consistent with AACN’s promotion of “Excellence in Clinical Practice.” Information of scientific and practical professional relevance will meet the interests of clinicians, researchers, and educators at all levels in their careers. Students will also find interest in presentations regarding professional development and future neuropsychological practice in an age of advancing technology.
Workshops addressing a broad range of clinical populations, clinical and forensic practice, innovations in care, ethics, supervision and training including updates from the 2022 Minnesota Conference, and social justice advocacy constitute a sample of the available workshops but fail to describe the extent and diversity of the 2023 program.
Each year this letter makes note of the welcoming, congenial atmosphere of the AACN meeting and each year the meeting lives up to these descriptions. It appears to matter little that we increase in numbers; the congeniality and fraternity of the group prevails. It is, therefore, with confidence that I assure you that your time at the meeting will, in fact, be memorable for the extraordinary program, and for your feeling that you are, indeed, welcome.
