If you work in applied behavior analysis, whether you run a clinic, manage a school-based program, or oversee a growing ABA practice, APBA Connect 2026 is worth clearing your calendar for. This year, S Cubed is heading to New Orleans as a sponsor, and we'll have a booth on the convention floor. We'd love to see you there.

We've been looking forward to this one. Here's why.

What Is APBA Connect 2026?

APBA, the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts, is the organization at the center of science-based ABA practice in the US. Their annual convention is where the field comes together: researchers, clinicians, clinical directors, and practice leaders, all in the same building for three days.

Think sessions, workshops, poster presentations, CEU opportunities, and the kind of hallway conversations that honestly might be the most valuable part of the whole trip. This year it's all happening at the Sheraton New Orleans on Canal Street, March 13-15, 2026, right in the heart of the city.

There's a virtual option too if you can't make it in person. But if you can be there, be there. New Orleans has a way of making even the in-between moments worth it.

Why This Convention Matters Right Now

The ABA field has grown a lot over the past decade, and with that growth has come real operational weight. More clients, tighter authorization timelines, documentation that never seems to shrink, and clinicians who got into this work to help people, not spend half their day on admin.

APBA is where the field gets honest about that. You hear from practitioners who've worked something out. You sit in a session that reframes a problem you've been carrying for months. You grab coffee with someone who's dealing with the exact same authorization headache and has a smarter way through it.

There's no webinar that replicates that. Being in the room matters, and this is a good room to be in.

Why We're Going and Why We're Sponsoring

S Cubed is built for ABA providers: practice management, scheduling, data collection, authorization, telehealth, guardian communication, all under one roof. But if we're being honest, the reason we sponsor APBA isn't to get our logo on a lanyard.

It's because this community is exactly who we built S Cubed for. The challenges ABA practices are navigating every day, that's not a market segment to us, it's the whole reason the platform exists. Sponsoring APBA is just one way of showing up for a field we're genuinely invested in.

We're going to listen, have real conversations, and yes, show what S Cubed can do for practices that are ready to stop duct-taping their operations together.

What We're Looking Forward To

Honestly? A lot. The sessions on practice sustainability and service delivery are at the top of our list. That gap between what research recommends and what's actually operationally possible is still real, and the conversations around it tend to be the most candid ones at the whole convention.

The poster sessions are worth your time too. They're usually the best window into where the next generation of practitioners is taking the field.

And when you need a break from sessions, come find us at our booth. We'll be there all three days, happy to talk, walk you through the platform, or just have a real conversation about what's going on in your practice.

Find Us in New Orleans

Most ABA teams don't realize how much time they're losing to the wrong tools. If that makes you even a little curious, come by the booth, book a 1:1, or schedule a demo before the convention so we can make the most of our time together. No pitch, just an honest conversation.

We'll see you in New Orleans. Come say hi.
