Dear Friends, I am writing you with a special invitation to an historic event.

.

In the past year, the newly-formed International Positive Psychology Association (IPPA) has gone from zero members to over 4,000 members in 80 countries.

.

With this overwhelming response, IPPA is now planning the First World Congress on Positive Psychology.

.

This Congress will convene the field’s leading researchers and practitioners from around the world in what will be the largest positive psychology gathering ever held.

.

It will take place June 18-21, 2009 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania , USA.

.
Phil Zimbardo and I will be presenting a special program on the first evening of the Congress.

.

Ed Diener and Lord Richard Layard will be giving keynotes later in the week.

.

Other invited speakers include Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Barbara Fredrickson, Antonella Delle Fave, David Cooperrider, Carmelo Vázquez, Ruut Veenhoven, Anthony Grant, Yong-Lin Moon, and many others.

.

We will also have international symposia on vital topics in positive psychology, workshops of best practices in the field, and hundreds of posters from researchers, practitioners, and students from every continent.

.

The only thing missing is you.

.
