Submit your SIG here – deadline: July 31, 2015 CLOSED

In order to facilitate the meetings of special interest groups (SIGs), it is necessary that all pre-existing and new SIGs notify us in advance so that we can collect the convener contact information and schedule the groups and meeting space for you. Please see the lists below for SIGs held in 2015. If you would like to convene one of these groups or convene a new group, please complete the online survey by July 31, 2015. If we do not hear from you by this date, we will assume that the SIG with which you are associated does not plan to convene during the 2016 annual conference.

The SIGs will be scheduled for either Friday (January 15) or Saturday (January 16), 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm. Due to the complexity of the schedule we cannot consider scheduling requests. Meeting space is limited. We will confirm your request via e-mail by September 2015. Confirmed SIGs will be listed in the conference program and will indicate the meeting room assignment.

If you have any questions about SIG meetings, please contact Program Director DeeJay Garringo, CAE, at dj@sswr.org or 703- 352-7797, ext. 218.
