Dear department head:
As you probably know the 30th Annual IOOB Graduate Student Conference will be
hosted by Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) in
We would like to invite you to take advantage of the opportunities the
Conference can offer you:
1. Present your research
The IOOB Conference provides you with the opportunity of practicing your
presentation skills, building your presentations resume, and getting
constructive feedback in a supportive environment of students like you! Because
the IOOB Conference targets students, as opposed to seasoned researchers and
practitioners, there is a good chance of student acceptance in this particular
venue. Send us your papers today!
2. Expand your knowledge and meet with key professionals in the field
Besides presenting their own research, students also benefit from workshops and
keynote speeches of well-known I/O professionals. Unlike SIOP and similar
conferences, the IOOB Conference environment allows for more personal
encounters with our keynote and workshop speakers. It is not rare to find
students and professionals sit down for lunch or coffee talking about various
issues.
3. Network
The Conference is certainly an environment to network and meet others in the
I/O field. Indeed, one purpose of the Conference is to connect people. The
opportunities vary – from the Networking Social Event that connects
“job-givers” and “job-seekers,” to the Saturday night out in which students
from all over the country get the chance to meet and mingle.
To top off all of this, this year’s Conference is held in
The registration fee is $50 and online registration is now available. The
deadline for submitting your paper/proposal is Saturday, December 20, 2008.
If you would like to get more information regarding speakers, hotel
