Conference Advice (Mostly) for First-Time Attendees and Students

The 2023 SIOP Annual Conference is right around the corner and will feature diverse educational sessions, add-on events, and networking.

Because large conferences can be overwhelming for first-time attendees and students, we’ve compiled the following resources. If you haven’t attended a conference in a while, or are a seasoned pro looking for a refresher, you may also find the following helpful.

This TIP article provides helpful information on how to make the most of the conference. We also offer a list of tips on our website that includes suggestions for before, during, and after the conference, such as downloading the Whova app. If you are participating in the Ambassador Program, watch for emails from the program organizers to attend their separately scheduled events.

For those attending in-person in Boston, please join us for the Newcomer Welcome Reception at 5:45 p.m. ET Wednesday, April 19, in the Hynes Convention Center.

The SIOP Education and Training Committee has also created a session and event list to help you quickly find the events and sessions that you may find most interesting. Finally, you can review the Program Search and Conference website for important information.

We look forward to seeing you in person, or online, at the 2023 SIOP Annual Conference!
