Networking can be daunting. It may feel tempting to avoid a room filled with strangers in favour of seeking out more comfortable conversations with those you know. But wait! – What if that room is filled with established and future SIM thought-leaders, who are passionate about the same kinds of scholarly topics, research methods, teaching innovations, and impact? How about a space dedicated to warm introductions, energetic idea-sharing, and the spirit of community? What if you could plan on lively facilitated opportunities to meet extraordinary global colleagues, discuss existing research, and consider developing new projects? Spoiler alert: you can!! SIM Speed Networking is exactly that space with exactly those people and exactly these opportunities! This annual event, in collaboration with the SIM Division’s Research Committee, aims to facilitate connections among scholars interested in topical issues linking business and society, professional development, and impactful research incubation. All are welcome, but pre-registration is required, and slots are released on a first come, first served basis. For more information, please visit the division's listserv page.
