SIOP Program 2008: San Francisco, California

University of North Carolina Charlotte
Although the 2007 conference has just ended, there is already considerable excitement building for the 2008 annual conference in San Francisco. The 2008 conference program planning team is hard at work implementing our first ever 3-day conference. The conference, in addition to our terrific peer-reviewed content, will introduce some new elements such as two full-day theme tracks.
Now is the time to begin preparing your submissions for 2008! Below is a timeline to keep in mind:
Late June 2007: Reviewer recruitment. Please look for an e-mail message requesting that you participate on the Conference Program Committee as a reviewer. All SIOP members are needed as reviewers. If you have never reviewed for SIOP, now is the time to start. If you haven’t reviewed in several years, we need you back. Your service to SIOP as a reviewer is critical to the success of the program.
Early July 2007: Call for Proposals. The Call for Proposals will be available (electronically) in early July. Members will receive an e-mail message with a Web link to the Call for Proposals. The Administrative Office will also send members a postcard notifying them of this Web address. Note that the Call for Proposals will only be available electronically.
September 12th, 2007: Submission deadline. The submission process will continue to be entirely electronic with no paper submissions. More details about the submission process will be provided in the Call for Proposals.
Early October 2007: Submissions sent out for review.
Early November 2007: Reviews due back.
Mid-December 2007: Decision e-mails. Submitters will be sent (electronic) decision letters regarding their submissions.
Spring 2008: Program published. The conference program will continue to be published both in paper form and on the Web. Please note that in an effort to reduce costs, the paper program will only be sent to those registered by the early registration deadline. All other attendees will need to pick up a program at the conference.
