IOOB is a student run conference for graduate students studying Industrial and Organizational Psychology, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, and other related fields. In some ways it is a stepping stone for younger students to get their first exposure and opportunity to present at a conference in a non-threatening environment. Only students attend the student presentations. At the same time, IOOB has been around for 20 years and is recognized by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

Both empirical and conceptual papers can be presented. You can also present a study in progress or something you plan to present/publish elsewhere.

Each presenter will have 10-12 minutes to present. As a courtesy to all presenters, you will be asked to stop when your time is up.

An overhead projector and screen will be provided in every room. If you plan to use briefing slides, please prepare them on transparencies. We will not be able to provide LCD panels or laptops, nor will you have time to set up your own equipment.
