GABA 2023 – Georgia Association for Behavior Analysis

GABA 2023 – The event that began and ended in full swing! That was a moment of connection, learning about new things, and growing positively in the field of ABA.
With 453 registered attendees, GABA 2023 was a vibrant gathering of behaviour analysts, students, and service providers across Georgia. Held in Decatur, this hybrid event combined in-person sessions with virtual access through BehaviorLive, encouraging broader participation.
In 2023, we diligently focused on raising our profile in the ABA community. We expanded our services, strengthened our social media presence, and created stronger bonds with therapists and practices. Of the 453 registered attendees, 400 people attended the conference in person, while 53 others attended virtually.
Memorable Moments & Personal Stories from GABA 2023
- Mentorship in Action: During the short break, we had an insightful conversation with one of the newly certified BCBA who spoke about her poster presentation. It was titled “Innovative Application in Behavior Analysis”, and she shared how her presentation earned praise and recognition. It served as a clear reminder of the power of knowledge-sharing.
- DEI Sparks Essential Chats: GABA also hosted virtual DEI events earlier in that year, and those conversations followed through at the conference. One attendee shared how these dialogues inspired her to launch a successful mentorship program in her district.
- Booth Buzz: We frequently heard, “TherapyPM could save us hours each week!” as providers explored our practice management demos. The statement felt highly rewarding as we saw providers’ eyes light up while hearing about the software streamlining daily tasks.
