The SIOP Annual Conference has long facilitated the sharing of knowledge and new ideas. To build on that tradition, we are again offering Research Community Forums, an opportunity for individuals with similar interests to connect and experience meaningful research collaboration.
Five Forums will be offered as an add-on conference event the afternoon of Wednesday, April 29, prior to the official start of the SIOP Annual Conference. They will consist of a mix of invited content (e.g., talks or posters identified via the submission process below) and networking/brainstorming activities to generate future research ideas and collaborations.
If you are interested in a topic but looking for instruction instead of collaborators, check out the Preconference Workshops.
Testimonials
"What a tremendous addition to the SIOP convention. As an academic, I often feel marginalized at the conference due to limited research presentation and training opportunities, and have been hoping for more opportunities for our community to truly bridge science and practice - the core of our field. I find the addition of the research community forum is a big step toward this important direction."
"These are great new networking opportunities. The in-depth nature is much better than random networking in other ways at the conference."
"I drew so much strength from the other participants at the forum. There are so many brilliant diversity researchers and practitioners who truly inspired me to keep going, think strategically, develop a plan, and contribute however I can – because we need everyone doing their part in their own corner of the world or industry."
