Dear SIMians and friends,
Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to catch up, cherish old ties, and forge new ones - especially with other SIMians. One great way is by organising off-programme events during the AoM Annual Meeting week (August 9th to 13th). If you are interested, here are the steps:
2. Location: This could be in Chicago, online, or perhaps a meetup in your own city. Provide details - the more, the better for the decision-making of any potential attendee. If online, via which software/website/app? If in your own city or Chicago, is there a precise location, e.g., a cafe/restaurant/bar/park etc.?
3. Date & time (and time zone 😊): Please do not schedule these during the key division meetings (e.g., Business Meeting and Social).
4. Event details: Give as much description as possible. Ideas: research roundtables, fireside chats, sight-seeing, exercising, community outreach, sampling the cuisine, as well as online research idea pitching sessions, R&R feedback sessions, online speed-networking sessions... Feel free to suggest other options/activities!
5. Next steps: If your event speaks to the SIM Community, we will add it, along with the details you provide, to our division's calendar and we will circulate it via our listserv and social media. We would also recommend that you do the same!
If you have any questions, please contact us!
