SIOP membership provides a host of benefits including year-round opportunities to network and collaborate with other I-O psychologists, including frequent continuing education and professional development programs. Not only will membership help with my personal professional development and contributions at work, but it can also help raise visibility for our organization as well. The great value returned on SIOP’s annual membership dues aligns with its educational mission and is made possible by SIOP’s non-profit status.
Becoming a member of SIOP will allow me to apply for several grants, awards, and scholarships that are only available to members, and to receive significant discounts on rates for SIOP conferences and professional development programs.
There are several regular scholarly and informational publications, which can help me stay current on psychological science and practice addressing real world problems, included in membership. I can also buy books in the SIOP book series at a discount and can access select research databases for a nominal fee.
Networking and visibility opportunities include service on SIOP committees, knowledge sharing through conferences, webinars, white papers, articles, and other publications. I will also have access to the member directory and can elect to be part of special interest registries, the consultant locator, and the media resource database.

The 36th SIOP Annual Conference is a multi-dimensional event, with an expanded schedule offering more than 750 peer-reviewed presentations. Nearly 100 presentations are offered in a mix of virtual live and asynchronous sessions April 15-17.
Interactivity and accessibility are two key features of this year’s conference. All the information I need to connect and collaborate with professional peers and thought leaders; to access the educational and professional development sessions; and to manage my conference schedule is easily available through SIOP’s event management platform, Whova. An extended program schedule and the addition of new interactive remote technology are two of the key adaptations the conference organizers have made this year. The "SIOP Conference Season" will actually begin with selected events, including the preconference workshops, in March. Friday Seminars will be scheduled weekly from April 23 through May 7.
