Networking can be daunting. It may feel tempting to avoid a room filled with strangers in favor 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 that you are? 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 ex-actly 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 wel-come.
