Since its foundings in 1978, the Society for Gestalt Theory and its Applications organized conferences and congresses. Besides their cross-pollination of ideas among its  members and friends,  these regular conferences help to maintain the visibility of Gestalt theory, and to help represent its views as part of larger scientific discourse and in varied practical areas.

These international conferences have been held regularly since 1979. Each is organized in cooperation with a university or academic institution, up to now in an European country, including not only Germany and Austria, but also Poland and quite often, Italy. Every two years, GTA members and scientists, and other interested parties gather – for lectures, workshops, and poster presentations – to share their views and discoveries, and to explore new lines of inquiry and new developments in the field. The experience is enriched by reportedy enjoyable social events, providing new opportunities for dreative cominglin of personalities and ideas, in the synergy of human relation.
