2026 APPE International Conference

The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics gathers scholars, educators, students, and practitioners from around the world each year to wrestle with the ethical questions that matter most. The 2026 Annual Conference — our 35th — brings that conversation to St. Louis, Missouri, a city with deep roots in American history and a lot to offer between sessions.

This year’s conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at the Arch, steps from the Gateway Arch and the Old Courthouse, site of the landmark Dred Scott case. All guestrooms offer views of the Mississippi River, the Arch, or downtown St. Louis, and conference attendees can book at the special rate of $174/night — reserve by Feb. 10 using the APPE conference link or by calling Hyatt at 888-591-1234 with code G-APP1. The hotel is located at 315 Chestnut Street, approximately 20 minutes from Lambert International Airport. Whether you’re presenting research, competing in the Ethics Bowl, or simply showing up to think alongside colleagues from across the field, St. Louis is a fitting place to do it.
