Welcome from Christine Boyce, SIOP Annual Conference Friday Seminars Chair
Hello SIOP fam! I am delighted to welcome you to this year’s Friday Conference Seminars – an in-depth learning opportunity and what I like to think of as your chance to supercharge your SIOP! If you haven’t attended in the past, the Friday Conference Seminars are 3-hour sessions where you can really dig in and spend time with top thinkers and practitioners exploring cutting-edge ideas shaping the future of work. I’m especially proud of our exciting list of topics this year, as it is both timely and useful. I hope you’ll agree! Most seminars offer continuing education credit, and they are limited to 50 people in each so that you can connect not only with the speakers but also with the other curious minds in the room. There are six seminars in total – three offered in the morning and three in the afternoon – so the hardest part just might be deciding which one or two you’d like to attend. This year’s committee has pulled out all the stops to bring together an amazing lineup of speakers. I’d like to extend a huge personal thank you to each one of them – and you may want to do the same. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime with questions, and thanks for your interest!
