Registration is Now Open for 2025 LEC Focusing on Advancing People Analytics

People analytics as a discipline is evolving rapidly, driven by advancements in technology like generative AI and the growing influence of diverse disciplines such as data science, labor economics, MBAs/consultants, and so on.

Attendees can learn more about this important topic at the 2025 SIOP Leading Edge Consortium (LEC): Advancing People Analytics. Registration is now open.

On Oct. 23 and Oct. 24, the best minds from I-O psychology and other people analytics disciplines will come together in Atlanta to collaboratively shape the future of people analytics. By highlighting I-O psychology’s critical role as a connector and leader in people analytics, bridging the scientist–practitioner divide, and integrating perspectives across fields, the consortium ensures that attendees leave with innovative, scientific, and engaging strategies to tackle modern workplace challenges and advance the field of people analytics.

“This isn’t your typical conference,” said Program Committee Co-Chair Cole Napper. “We’re bringing together the doers, the thinkers, and the builders across people analytics to share what’s real, what’s working, and what’s next. Whether you’re leading a team, running your first analysis, or just figuring out where to start—this is the space for you.”
