Dear SIOP Supporter:

SIOP’s 2006 conference in Dallas was outstanding…and we are busily working on what we’re sure will be a spectacular SIOP in New York City !  I hope you plan to attend the conference, April 27–29, 2007, and that you will be a Sponsor of the conference this year. Your sponsorship enables us to offer a very affordable conference fee, resulting in attendance by a large percentage of our membership.  This coming together once a year has a phenomenal effect on the Society and on the field of I-O psychology.  Please consider being a Sponsor of SIOP 2007.

The New York Marriott Marquis, our headquarters hotel, is in the heart of Times Square .  Broadway theaters, restaurants, and attractions including Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center are all within walking distance.  If you plan on attending the theater, the TKTS booth, where you can get half-price theater tickets, is right beside the hotel.  We expect record-breaking attendance this year.

Sunday sessions will focus on globalization.  The sessions will feature one to two invited speakers from fields outside of I-O psychology.   We anticipate a truly outstanding conference program from start to finish.   

We’ll keep the same Exhibit Hall hours as last year, which means opening at 10:00 a.m. on Friday and 8:30 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.  The booth layout has been designed for maximum exposure and flow.  Poster sessions, food and beverage, and the Cyber Café will once again be located in the hall. 

Workshops will be held on April 26.  The conference begins on Friday, April 27 and ends at noon April 29, 2007.   There were 3,422 people at the last conference and we are expecting even larger numbers in New York .  

Sponsors will each have a booth and will be listed in the Conference Program, on the SIOP Web site, and in the Awards brochure.  You can enhance your visibility by placing an ad in the Conference Program, doing a mailing to conference attendees, or by placing an insert into the conference bag (a convenient and attractive bag that will hold a laptop).

Doug Pugh is chair of the conference this year.  As usual, you can call me, or any of the staff at the Administrative Office, with any questions or concerns.
 

Please become a SIOP Sponsor.  You will certainly help SIOP, and you will enhance your company’s visibility.  We will appreciate your support, and we will do all we can to make it a great experience for you and your company!

Cordially,

David A. Nershi, CAE
