As the world of work continues to evolve, presenting both challenges and opportunities, the I-O psychology organizations believe it’s time to come together, across borders, time zones, and career stages, to listen, learn, support one another, and explore this fascinating field of psychology that connects us all.
This unique, virtual format will occur over a 24-hour period, presenting a global marathon of conversations and ideas. The online format, spread across time zones and with every session recorded to be available to current members at a future date, is designed to make it easier than ever for colleagues from around the world to take part, wherever you are, and whenever it works for you.
This isn’t a polished event (not yet, anyway). It’s a growing, collaborative space created by and for people who care deeply about the future of work and the people within it. While additional details will follow in the coming weeks, the program will include sessions on employability, international mobility, and dedicated spaces for students and professionals at every career stage, with contributions from both practitioners and academics.
More information will be shared as the program comes together.
