BSA has organized the lectures into ten core areas that reflect the range of research in the field. Each year, five of these areas are addressed by Master Lecturers. Speakers for the 2015 Convention, to be held in Toronto, Ontario, August 6-9, 2015 will be chosen to have expertise in the following areas:
• applied psychology
• biopsychology
• cognition and perception
• health and behavioral medicine
• personality and individual differences
The Distinguished Scientist Lecture Program supports up to three psychological scientists to speak at Regional Psychological Association meetings to be held in 2015. Speakers must be actively engaged in research, with expertise in any area. A list of previously selected speakers can be found online.

Nominations may be for either the Master Lecture Program or Distinguished Scientist Lecture Program or both. Selected speakers receive an honorarium of $500 and reimbursement for travel expenses, up to $1,000.
