For 38 years, the SIOP Annual Conference has brought together thousands of I-O psychology practitioners, educators, researchers, and students from around the world to network, share knowledge, and form lifelong professional connections and friendships.
The 2024 event will continue to feature both in-person and virtual offerings, allowing opportunities for you to participate in a way you are most comfortable.
Further down this page, we have included a table of the benefits for in-person and virtual conference formats for you to reference as you decide which is the right fit for you.
The Program Committee is confident that 2024 SIOP Annual Conference attendees will appreciate this year’s robust educational offerings.
