SIOP Program 2016: Anaheim Scott Tonidandel Davidson College Eden King George Mason University Although I am sure many of you are still feeling the love from the 2015 SIOP Annual Conference in the city of brotherly love, planning is already well underway for the 2016 conference in Anaheim. With plenty of sun, citrus, and of course Disneyland, Anaheim promises to be an outstanding conference destination. The conference will take place April 14–16. As always, the program committee’s goal is to incorporate a diversity of topics, presenters, and session types that aim to advance the science and practice of I-O psychology. We will continue to offer Friday seminars, communities of interest, invited sessions, keynote speakers, an all-day theme track, along with the peer-reviewed submissions, including the recently introduced alternative sessions. This year’s theme track, following the vision of President Steve Kozlowski and led by chair Zack Horn, is focused on how each and every SIOP member can expand their impact in meaningful ways. Sessions will offer inspiration and practical takeaways for using I-O psychology to make a difference locally, in organizations, within SIOP, nationally, and globally. Below is a high-level timeline to help you plan for the 2016 conference. September will be here before you know it, so start planning your submissions now! The Industrial-Organizational Psychologist
