I am of the opinion that SDN needs to plan and hold fictional yearly conferences. Who's with me?
Aren't there enough of those fake conferences out there? The ones that spam out speaker invitations that start with "Greetings for the day!"
I'd be up for an SDN psych/psych forums Zoom though, if anyone is planning one.
Can I still be a pink rainbow cat?

I will host the PsyDr Unhappy Hour.
(this also happens in real life conferences)
Which student wants to do 20 hours of volunteer work for a ****ty sandwich?
And most importantly: everyone gets a lanyard.We will also give them free access to one of the workshops. And, maybe a logo pen that will work for exactly 2 minutes.

I would like to run a poster session. Posters can be no more than 10pt font (can vary between sections, of course) and must include at least 50 reported statistical tests. Bonus points if the organization of the poster does not follow any natural or intuitive pattern of eye movement.

As long as there will be complimentary food and beverages, but please prohibit the handing out of business cards from undergrad and graduate students.
Will there be daily 7:45am "breakfast with... <insert some head of some organization or speaker>" where everyone crams into a crappy hotel continental breakfast room where there aren't enough seats, you can't hear the speaker, and someone suggests an ice breaker before coffee?

We also need a business meeting hour. 30 people are projected to attend. We will start with 2 minute intro for each person. Then we will have plenty of time to cover business.
Let's not forget the meeting to develop goals for the meeting
Don’t you quote subcommittee procedures to me! I was on the task force that picked the group that decided the font to use on the cover of that subcommittee planning meeting document!We'll need a conference planning committee that meets twice monthly year round. Subcommittees of that committee will meet another time each month to plan business meetings.
Who gets the first SDN Lifetime Achievement Award for promoting the field, and contributing to the knowledge of all things SDN?
I just wanna know if I’ll be allowed to complain about concept creep and give a long diatribe about pseudoscience in trauma therapy. If not, then no amount of sandwiches will get me interested in attending.
Oh, and can we have karaoke and happy hour afterwards?
There are enough of us in this camp that we'll definitely be able to form a division.
counter offer: We give you the $2 that we spent on tote bags as store credit in one of the established APA partners. We then reach out to other conferences, and standardize this process. Next we pressure APA to partner with real handbag manufacturers, since APA is basically full of their core demographics. "Hey, Kate Spade. Want access to an organization, the majority of which are white middle aged women?". Now you can have a discount on a nicer bag, or you can get flowers or a cookie or something.I would like to submit my application (nomination?) for president of this division.
Also, YES to karaoke. And PsyDr, speak for yourself about having enough tote bags! I CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH.

APA is partners with 1800 flowers, Harry & David, and some cookie place. There are other options.That's not very diverse or inclusive. You need a gender neutral carryall, sir!
Apparently Cheryl's Cookies and the Popcorn Factory. Personally, I believe chocolate chip cookies are good for the soul. So, that gets my vote.APA is partners with 1800 flowers, Harry & David, and some cookie place. There are other options.
I support your presidency!I would like to submit my application (nomination?) for president of this division.

Surely we rational folks on psych SDN don’t have a large enough constituency of woomeisters among us to make them a posse. Right? RIGHT?Can I be on the committee that assigns rooms for the talks? I really just want to put the 'All things woo' people in a room next to the 'I hate pseudoscience' people.
