Good news! Information is now available online regarding registration, hotel reservations, and program schedule for the 7th Annual Meeting of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, to be held in Palm Springs, California on January 26-28, 2006. Point your browser to http://www.taramillerevents.com/spsp2006/ for information about registration, hotel, and other aspects of the meeting.
The Palm Springs Convention Center, the “Meeting Oasis,” is the site for this year’s conference. The convention center is in the heart of the Village of Palm Springs, with shopping, restaurants, and tourist attractions close by. Two first-class hotels will provide accommodations for SPSPers: the newly-renovated Wyndham Palm Springs (attached to the Convention Center) as well as the Hilton Palm Springs Resort one block away. Both hotels boast a full range of facilities, including pools, golf, and tennis. The Convention Center and hotels are within easy walking distance of art galleries, casinos, nightclubs, sidewalk cafes, and all the amenities of an international resort destination. The entire complex is only two miles from Palm Springs International Airport, which is served by direct flights from many national airport hubs.
In terms of quality, strength, and diversity of content, the 2006 program promises to be the best yet. Once again there was a record number of submissions, both for symposia and for posters. The Program Committee was very impressed with the quality, strength, and originality of the symposia and posters that were submitted this year. Thus, the 2006 conference promises to be another wonderful, stimulating, and engaging event.
Convention activities will begin Thursday evening with a welcome reception and Presidential Symposium and continue through Friday and Saturday. The program will consist of symposia, poster sessions, invited addresses, publisher exhibits, workshops, and special events. The cost of lunches is included in the conference registration fee -- a distinctive feature of our meeting that allows participants to take a leisurely look at posters while catching up with friends.
As in past years, an array of independent pre-conferences will be held during the day on Thursday, January 26.
Please encourage your faculty and student colleagues to join us in Palm Springs for what promises to be another exciting and informative gathering of personality and social psychologists. Our thanks to Tara Miller and her staff for their outstanding work on preparations for the meeting. Don’t forget your sunscreen and we’ll see you there!
2006 Convention Committee: Tim Strauman (Chair), Jeff Simpson (Program Committee Chair), Steve Harkins, and Julie Norem
