I want to give you a heads-up about some special sessions and new session formats at this years SIOP conference in Orlando. Each day of the conference will have its share of special programming:
- On Thursday evening, a short reception hosted by Adrienne Colella focused on how to get the most from the SIOP conferencewhat to expect and how to best utilize your time. This session is primarily to welcome people who are new to the conference, who havent been to the conference in a few years, or for those who would simply like to learn more about the conference. Participants will have time to mingle before adjourning to the SIOP Welcome Reception.
- On Friday there will be a lively panel discussion on the licensure of I-O psychologists, moderated by
Nancy Tippins.
- Saturday will include a number of special sessions:
- A debate on Emotional Intelligence, moderated by Angelo
DeNisi.
- Seven interactive poster sessions, designed to promote interaction among presenters and the audience. On topics from leadership to selection, these 45-minute sessions will involve four papers each. The first 20 minutes of the session will allow presenters and attendees to discuss the posters, with a facilitator leading the discussion for the remaining time.
- A work and family collaborative research solutions session, hosted by
Debra Major, Leslie Hammer, and Diane Daum. This new session format is designed to facilitate collaboration between practitioners and faculty on workfamily research.
- On Sunday there will be nine special How-To sessions. The purpose of these 45-minute sessions is to be practical, interactive, and hands-on. This is a great way to round out your SIOP experience by learning something new from some of the top experts. Below is a list of the session titles and presenters (as this is going to press):
