The Global Association of Applied Behavioural Scientists

Gather ‘25: Updated Format FAQs

  • Based on overwhelming feedback: many members expressed challenges with travel arrangements. We heard that people wanted to attend but couldn’t sanction travel for a one-day conference. Additionally, we had an outpouring of speaker support, but could only pack about half of all the great presentations into a one-day session. Now, we’ll be able to meet the call of our members to make our conference more accessible, inclusive and affordable while expanding our content offerings. This decision is more aligned than ever with what GAABS wants to achieve for its members – which is global impact and support for all members. 

  • We're thrilled to share that the virtual format allows us to offer even more content… nearly twice as much. We had some tremendous speakers who wanted to offer additional workshops and keynotes but could not attend in person. This means that we’ll be bringing you an expanded programme with greater flexibility.

  • Certainly! We're bringing our best behavioural science acumen to putting together a conference that feels cutting-edge AND includes a human touch. You'll enjoy structured networking sessions, virtual breakout rooms, opportunities to give feedback and offer advice directly in response to presenters and to the needs of other members. 

  • Yes!  All sessions will be recorded and available to registered participants following the conference – giving you even more flexibility to engage with content at your convenience.

  • The core programme remains intact, with additional content now available. We'll be optimising timing to accommodate multiple time zones and added flexible viewing options for those who cannot attend live.

  • Absolutely! Our platform will feature live Q&A, polling, and chat functions.

  • All registered participants will receive digital materials in advance.
