The 2026 Asian Conference on Applied Psychology, held recently in Singapore, has drawn to a successful close. The event gathered 165 authors representing 16 different countries, creating a truly international forum for the exchange of ideas in the field. Attendees included practicing psychologists, academic researchers, educators, and students, all focused on the latest developments in applied psychology, mental health, and overall well-being.

A major highlight of this year's conference was the dedicated Undergraduate Research Conference, or URC. This special track was designed to give emerging scholars a platform to present their work and receive feedback from more experienced professionals. Organizers emphasized that supporting these students is key to the future of the discipline. By offering mentorship and a welcoming space for early inquiry, the conference aims to build confidence and skills in the next generation of researchers.

Beyond the formal presentations, the gathering provided ample opportunity for networking and building stronger international partnerships. Discussions covered a wide range of topics, from clinical applications to community-based mental health strategies. The organizers noted that the level of engagement was high, with many participants expressing interest in continuing collaborations long after the event ended. With its focus on both professional growth and student development, the conference served as a vital meeting point for advancing psychological science across Asia and beyond.
