SPSP is a big event, and it can be isolating if you don’t meet people quickly. Now there is a perfect way to do so: Come to our brand-new event, Research "Speed Data-ing!" 

Based on the standard speed dating paradigm often used in relationship work, The Research Speed Data-ing Event will afford you an opportunity to meet a number of your peers in rapid-fire succession, to learn a little about who they are and what kind of work they do, and to introduce yourself. Voila! Instant conference buddies. 
 
This is an excellent opportunity to find future collaborators, network with people who will be your colleagues for years to come, and perfect your "elevator speech.” Bear in mind this is not a romantic event—it is for meeting collaborators, peers, and colleagues. The event is Thursday night from 7:00-8:15 pm, so it will be a perfect chance to meet some new friends before heading to the GSC Social Event. 

Preregistration is required, as space will be limited. There is no fee. At this time, we can only accept registration for graduate students due to space restrictions. 

In order to ensure fairness, registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. 

After Monday, Nov 12, at noon, please follow this link: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6rNiR3vUrsx1q5v to complete the registration. You should receive confirmation of your registration status shortly. 

Looking forward to seeing you in New Orleans!
