Submissions:The submission deadline for the Association for Psychological Science (APS) Annual Convention is just around the corner and we hope that you will submit your work if you have not yet done so.  Indeed, you have until January 31, 2016to submit your 500-word (including spaces) poster summarydirectly through the APS website at this address: http://www.psychologicalscience.org/index.php/convention/call-for-submissions.Posters are evaluated on a rolling basis: the sooner you submit, the sooner you hear back! The 2016 APS Annual Convention will be held May 26-29 in Chicago.

Attention Students: We encourage all researchers to submit their work but we want to reach out to students in particular. The APS convention offers a collegial and developmental environment, and it is particularly welcoming of student work.

Workshops:In addition to talks and symposia, the APS Convention offers many workshops that promise to be of considerable interest to I-O psychologists. Workshops will be $60 for regular convention attendees and $35 for students with the early registration rate—a very reasonable fee to pay to learn about R, latent growth modeling, multilevel modeling, mechanical Turk, Bayesian analysis, and many other topics.  In addition to these workshops focused on statistics and methods, there is also a very promising workshop on writing for a popular audience offered by Steven Pinker (Harvard University). The list of workshops is available in the October TIPissue.

Networking Opportunities: Finally, one of the highlights of the convention is the I-O happy hour. It has proven to be so popular that folks in other subject areas are asking to host their own receptions.  We’re certainly trendsetters at APS!
