This year’s conference is providing attendees with over 400 informative sessions, more than 600 posters, and numerous ways to connect with others while in New Orleans. The SIOP Commons is a space for you to join others in a casual setting between sessions.
Located in the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center Exhibit Hall, you will find inviting seating, wireless charging tables, and plenty of chances to meet with colleagues. This engaging membership space is provided for you to comfortably make new connections or reconnect with past colleagues while taking respite throughout the day.
Be sure to make time to learn about the new organizational redesign from volunteer leadership and maybe even play a game or two to win a prize!
The SIOP Commons will be open
Thursday, April 30, and Friday, May 1, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT
Volunteers will be present for all open hours of the event to answer any and all questions about membership, volunteering, and more!
