Newcomer Orientation

2008 International Conference of the System Dynamics Society

The Newcomer Orientation Session is a special event for newcomers, scheduled for one-half hour on Sunday afternoon. Newcomers and veteran attendees (guides) will be brought together based on their topics of interest. The guides will provide information to help the newcomers maneuver through the conference resourcefully and get the most out of the conference experience. If you are a newcomer and would like to benefit from this program, please check the box on the registration form as a first-time participant.

The Sunday afternoon session will "self-organize" into groups of newcomers and guides to cover general topics, such as:

Business
Education
Energy & Environment
Health Policy
Information Science & Information Systems
Security
Economics
Psychology
Public Policy
Social Science
Strategy & Organizational Change

Newcomers will also be advised of the Society Chapter meetings and the Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings that may match their interests.

If you would like to volunteer as a guide, please contact James Melhuish at:
