Mile-High Psychology at the Denver APA Convention: August 4-7

APA Program Committee

This year’s APA Convention is shaping up to be a fantastic one. Consider the evidence:

1. Phenomenal Invited Speakers

   • Nancy Tippins: Evaluating the Assessment of Leaders

   • Lynn Offermann: College Women Leaders Then and Now---Predicting Career Outcomes 28 Years Later

   • Gwen Fisher: Challenges, Opportunities, and Best Practices in Promoting Health for Individuals, Families, and Organizations

      

2. Outstanding Invited Symposia

   • Roni Reiter-Palmon and Chris Shalley: Creativity and Innovation in Organizations---A Review of Current Findings and Future Directions

   • Lori Foster, David Blustein, Terry Tracey, and Alex Gloss: Using Vocational and I-O Psychology to Support Decent Work Around the World

   • Ann Huffman, Diedre Knapp, and Carl Castro: 2016 Work Military Trends---Making Tomorrow’s Research Agenda Today

3. Over 50 competitive posters and talks from SIOP members, on topics ranging from emotion to federal employment policy to work-life balance… plus hundreds of papers on measurement, group dynamics, personality, and more from other APA divisions!

    

4. A social event at The Office, right across the street from the Convention Center, on Thursday August 4—mingle with old colleagues and meet new ones in a low- key setting

    

5. The city of Denver as our backdrop, full of culture, nature, and activities

I hope you will make the trip to represent SIOP at the convention. While you’re there, say hello to Mindy Shoss, the incoming APA Program Chair for 2017.

I also want to say a huge thank you to the reviewers and committee members who worked like crazy this December to get our program in shape. See you all in Denver!
