How do I contact individuals with similar interests in order to put together a symposium/forum? Does SIOP have such collaborative forums available for organizing such submissions?
While SIOP does not provide this type of service, there are several strategies that you can follow to identify colleagues with similar interests. One strategy is to reach out to potential collaborators via discussion lists and/or your colleagues who publish in your specialty area. Another strategy might be to review past conference programs on the SIOP Web site www.siop.org and locate previous presenters with your interests through the online membership directory.
