CFP Important Issues

1. This year's Sunday theme is Globalization. We are planning 1-3 invited sessions in which selected speakers discuss the importance of globalization and the implications this has for the science, practice, and teaching of I-O psychology. We also invite submitted sessions on this theme that span national and cultural boundaries. Some topics of interest include but are not limited to expatriate management; offshoring and reverse offshoring; cross-cultural issues; organizational culture; immigration; English-only laws, and the influence of technology on the time and place of work.

2. Our conference will be held at the Marriott Marquis. The Marriott Marquis is in the heart of Times Square and offers easy access to popular New York attractions such as Broadway theatre, Rockefeller Center, and Radio Center Music Hall. Numerous shopping, dining, and nightlife options are right outside the hotel doors. Our room rate is excellent for this outstanding location.

3. We would like to point out a few recent changes in the Call for Proposals. First, we continue to have the rule that an individual cannot submit more than three proposals in which he or she is a presenter. A description of how SIOP defines a “presenter” appears below in the section “Rules for Submission.” We can no longer allow session chairs to be exempt from this rule given our scheduling constraints. Second, we have added more details about required proposal formats and available session types to further clarify the submission process. Please read the Proposal Format Requirements & Session Types section carefully. Third, SIOP now requires presenters from two or more affiliations for more types of session types (see “Diversity of affiliation” below). Fourth, because there are always more great submissions than space permits on the SIOP program, you can elect to have your poster, symposia, or roundtable discussion submission automatically considered for presentation at the 2007 APA conference if it is not accepted at SIOP. Selecting this option does NOT guarantee that your submission will be accepted at APA. If your paper is accepted at APA you will have the option to be on the program; you are not committing to the APA conference by having your paper be automatically considered for APA. Fifth, submissions for Master Tutorials now require participants to submit curricula vitae for all presenters and learning objectives for the proposed session. Finally, a few new content areas have been added. Be sure to read through the full list before selecting content areas.

4. The Sunday Seminars are back for an 8th year. Sunday Seminars are invited sessions on cutting-edge topics that require advance registration and an additional fee. Please see the October issue of TIP for a preview of this year’s exciting topics.
