What is New
3-Day Conference Program Format:
- There will be special events over the course of the three days to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the SIOP conference!
- Each day of the conference will have a unique defining element in addition to our standard peer-reviewed programming.
o Thursday and Saturday will feature theme tracks. Each theme track is comprised of a full day of coherent programming (e.g., invited speakers, debates). These themes will represent one vertical track presented with 18 other concurrent non-theme sessions. Thursday’s theme track will be devoted to The Virtually Connected Workforce and Saturday’s track is titled: Reengineering I/O Psychology for the New World of Work.
o Friday will contain a host of exciting events. We will have two keynote speakers, Friday Seminars for CE credits, and an extension of the Leading Edge Consortium.
- The conference will begin and end with plenary sessions and will also include a major invited address.
- There will be an all-conference reception Saturday night to celebrate the conclusion of the conference. We do hope you will stay the full day on Saturday to take advantage of the full three-days of learning and networking opportunities.
- There are six session types for this year’s submissions: (a) Debate (b) Symposium/ Forum, (c) Roundtable/Conversation Hour, (d) Master Tutorial, (e) Panel Discussion, and (f) Poster. Research, practice, theory, and teaching-oriented content are encouraged under each session type.
- Each submission should be of high quality and contribute to or advance the field of I-O Psychology.
- This year we particularly encourage debate submissions as it is an effective and engaging way to flesh out a topic and subject it to forthright evaluation. Please consider this format for submission.
- We also encourage 50 minute or 80 minute submissions versus 110 minutes. In addition to the suggested length you provide when you submit your proposal, reviewers will assess the length they believe should be allocated to a session. This information will help the Program Committee make a final determination of how much time to schedule for an accepted submission.
- When submitting to the conference, submitters will indicate whether the content of their submission is mostly relevant for practitioners, academics, or a mixed audience. This designation will be used to determine the composition of the assigned reviewers.
- An individual cannot be a presenter in more than three program sessions. For clarification, a description of how SIOP defines a “presenter” appears in the section “Rules for Submission.” Session chairs are included in this rule. Please do NOT submit more than three proposals in which you are a presenter or session chair.
Because there are always more great submissions than space permits on the SIOP program, you can elect to have your submission automatically considered for presentation at the 2010 APA conference if it is not accepted for presentation at the 2010 SIOP conference. Selecting this option does NOT guarantee that your submission will be accepted at APA. APA will notify you if your submission is accepted. If your submission is accepted by APA, you will then have the option to be on the program; you are not committing to the APA conference by having your submission automatically considered. Also, selecting this option does not affect the likelihood of a submission being accepted to the SIOP conference.
- SIOP provides an LCD projector, screen, and microphones (2 table microphones, 1 podium microphone, and 1 wired lavaliere microphone) for every recorded session. Overhead projectors will no longer be provided. Please note that in order to use the LCD projector you will be required to bring your own laptop.
