Connect and have the opportunity to network with important researchers, applied working colleagues and leaders from different performance areas.

In Innsbruck we will concentrate on our congress topic “Performance under pressure” and we are excited to share with you and our colleagues the newest scientific and applied insights. We will bring together some of the leading experts in performance psychology to discuss, debate and celebrate the impact of pressure on individual and team performances in different settings, and we’d love to see you there.

Performing under pressure is a common challenge for individuals in various domains, including sports, performing arts, business, and high-stakes professions (police, military, medicine etc.). Pressure situations can elicit stress, anxiety, and a range of emotions that can impact performance. However, with the right strategies and mindset, individuals and teams can learn to thrive and excel under pressure. We love to enhance our client’s abilities to perform at their best in challenging situations.

We will have participants and presenters from sports, military, police, performing arts, medicine and business settings. At our congress we connect the most influential people from these areas.

We will feature over 100 workshops, oral sessions and symposia, delivering continuing education on the latest techniques and practices in our field. For colleagues who are interested in deeper education we will have an intense pre-congress-programme covering hypnosis in sports, mindfulness in Olympic sports and a fine educational programme for becoming sport psychologists in professional and elite sports.

Bring your partner and your family: Innsbruck is one of the world`s most attractive holiday destinations. In addition there is a remarkable cultural programme, from historical towns to top cultural events and traditional Tyrolean evenings. Tirol’s villages, towns and regions are famous for their traditional customs and celebrations as well as for being home to museums and other cultural attractions of the highest quality. Local inns are the ideal place to sample some of the delicious local specialties and relax after a long day out and about in the fresh air. And when things hot up in summer, there are plenty of crystal clear lakes to cool off, let your thoughts wander and simply lose yourself in the moment.
