Consortia

The Consortia Committee members are preparing existing programming for the 2023 SIOP Annual Conference. For those unfamiliar with the consortia, they are preconference sessions that provide opportunities for students and early career I-O psychology professionals (both academic and applied) to engage with others in similar career stages and learn from each other and experts in our field. The goal of the consortia is to provide valuable and relevant programming while creating an opportunity for networking and building relationships with other SIOP members.


Past Consortia attendees have remarked:

Great opportunity to meet like-minded professionals, gain insight, and network” 

“The Consortium was the perfect way to kick off the conference. I absolutely loved the opportunity to learn from more experienced I-Os and to connect with peers.”

 

This year’s consortia are sure to deliver the same responses. In 2023, we will be bringing three of the consortia events back to the in-person conference. The Doctoral Consortium, Early Career Faculty Consortium (ECFC), and Early Career Practitioner Consortium (ECPC) will occur on Wednesday, April 19th. The Master’s Consortium will continue to be virtual and will occur in live mini-sessions virtually in the weeks preceding the conference.

Content will focus on building skills to navigate the job market, support your well-being, prepare tenure packets, and a host of other topics. For details on the specific agenda, please visit the consortia pages below.

We believe that the consortia provide content that appeals to members at all career levels, However, we recognize with four different consortia it can sometimes be challenging to determine which is the best fit for your current stage. We hope the chart below helps in making that decision, but if you have any questions, please reach out to me, Amber Burkhart.

Masters Consortium $95


For the 2023 Master's Consortium, six speakers representing a broad spectrum of applied roles will focus on their journey from a master's-level I-O student to their established career, and dive into what it’s like to be a practitioner in their space.

Back by popular demand, the consortium will serve up developmental material in the form of mini-sessions and augmented breaks. These sessions will focus on essential career skills such as business acumen, effective communication, salary negotiation, interviewing tips, personal branding, and more.
