Conference Programming Formats

2025 SIOP Annual Conference

Conference Programming Formats

All sessions for the 2025 SIOP Annual Conference will be conducted in person from April 2-5 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver. Virtual sessions will not be offered this year, and there will be no hybrid sessions (i.e., all presentations will be given in person). Please confirm with all speakers for your proposed session to ensure that they can meet the requirements for the in-person sessions (see below).

In-Person Sessions

Who Must Register and How?

All speakers must register for the in-person conference. To register, go to siop.org/Annual-Conference (make sure to login to your SIOP account first).

When Must Final Presentation Materials Be Submitted to SIOP?

By early March.

When and Where Will I present?

All session types are in person and will be presented April 2-5 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

Who Must Pay for Conference Registration?

SIOP is not able to pay, provide honorariums, or waive registration for speakers involved in sessions accepted through the submission process. All speakers and conference attendees are responsible for paying their own registration.

 

For accepted proposals for In-Person sessions

  • All session speakers must register for and attend the conference.
  • All session speakers must deliver their presentation in-person.
  • Submission organizers are strongly encouraged to provide session presentation materials (e.g. slides, pdfs) to SIOP by early March 2025. SIOP will provide a web-based link for uploading materials that will automatically be loaded into the Whova app for use by SIOP attendees. The requirement to provide materials is intended to increase the accessibility of presentations for attendees.

Quick Questions and Answers

Who can submit a proposal?

SIOP Members, Associates, Fellows, Retired, and Student members. For Student members, if you are submitting anything other than a poster, you need at least one speaker that is not a Student member (i.e., a speaker who is a Member, Associate, Fellow, or Retired). Affiliates may not be submitters.

When will my session be presented?

All sessions will be presented during the conference week, specifically April 3, 4, or 5, aligned with the Mountain Time Zone. (Research Community Forum sessions will be held April 2.)

One of my speakers is unable to attend in-person and would like to present virtually. Is this possible?

No, mixed modality presentations (i.e., hybrid presentations) are not permitted.

I am inviting a participant who normally does not attend the SIOP Annual Conference to present as a speaker. Can SIOP waive this person's registration fee and/or pay them an honorarium or speaker fee?

No. SIOP is not able to pay, provide honorariums, or waive registration for speakers involved in sessions accepted through the submission process. All speakers and conference attendees are responsible for paying their own registration and fees associated with the conference.

Will selected peer-reviewed sessions be live streamed or recorded this year?

No. Given the cost of live streaming and recording sessions as well as the limited number of attendees who were viewing live-streamed and recorded sessions, SIOP has decided to not live stream or record peer-reviewed submitted sessions this year.
