APA 6th Edition (Scroll down for APA 7th Edition)
If the paper, poster, or conference proceedings have been formally published, use the formatting for the resource type (e.g., a chapter in a book or periodical article) to reference the resource. For example, the following paper was published as a chapter in the proceedings book:
van Oostveen, R., DiGiuseppe, M., Barber, W., Blayone, T., & Childs, E. (2016). New conceptions for digital technology sandboxes: Developing a fully online learning communities (FOLC) model. In G. Veletsianos (Ed.), EdMedia 2016: World Conference on Educational Media and Technology (pp. 665-673). Waynesville, NC: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education.
Conference paper abstract
Author, A. (Year, Month). Title of conference paper. Paper presented at the meeting of Organization Name, Location. Abstract retrieved from URL.
In-text citation: (Lastname, year, para. X)
Paper
If you retrieved a conference paper online (versus an abstract, as shown above), and the paper wasn't published as part of a larger conference proceedings document (such as in a periodical or a book), you can use the same formatting, but replace "Abstract" with "Paper":
Lastname, A. A. (Year, Month). Title of paper. Paper presented at Conference Name, Location. Paper retrieved from URL
In-text citation: (Lastname, year, p. X)
Poster
Lastname, A. A. (Year, Month). Title of poster. Poster session presented at the meeting of Organization Name, Location. Poster retrieved from URL
In-text citation: (Lastname, year, para. X)
Symposium
Contributor, A. A. (Year, Month). Title of contribution. In E.E. Chairperson (Chair), Title of symposium. Symposium conducted at the meeting of Organization Name, Location.

Date in reference
Regarding the date of publication, "for symposium contributions and paper or poster presentations that have not been formally published, give the month and year of the symposium or meeting in the reference" (American Psychological Association, 2010, p. 206).
