2008 American Psychological Association Conference

Aug 14, 2008 - Aug 17, 2008,
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center Boston, Massachusetts United States

The overall Convention program and number of sessions is often overwhelming to the first-time attendee. For example, the Convention Program book for the 2007 APA Convention in San Francisco, California had 402 pages of programming. First-time attendees often feel lost in trying to identify sessions that would be of interest to them. Probably the least effective and most time consuming strategy is to try to read through the whole Convention Program book to select sessions to attend. What most first-time attendees don’t realize is that there are several indexing schemes and other search strategies that can easily help them find sessions related to their professional interests. Some search strategies are listed below.
