Here at Polinode we are incredibly excited about attending the SIOP Annual Conference for the first time. For those that may not have been before, the SIOP Annual Conference will be held in Chicago between the 17th and 20th of April and is the annual conference for the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology. It will see thousands of individuals (both researchers and practitioners), all of whom have an interest in I-O Psychology, come together for a few days to network and listen to hundreds of presentations on a wide variety of topics.
Given this will be our first SIOP conference, we thought it might be fun (and helpful for both ourselves and others) to use some publicly available data to create some networks that assist with understanding the conference (and provide some insight into the I-O Psychology community more generally). This blog post summarizes how we did this and includes some links to a few interactive networks so that you can explore them in more detail yourself.
