Join other like-minded professionals to share various experiences and viewpoints at this year's SIG-a-Palooza. For those who are unfamiliar with Shared Interest Groups (SIGs), they are peer exchanges organized around areas of interest. They offer a forum for peer-to-peer learning in a small group atmosphere. SIGs are a great way for association professionals and industry partners to learn from colleagues about the issues relevant to them.

If you've never been to a SIG meeting, now is the time to try one out! SIG-a-Palooza is open to all, including Associate members and guests. See below for a list of SIGs and topic descriptions.

Our goal is for SIG-a-Palooza to be accessible to as many people as possible to allow for the robust discussions you've come to expect from your SIG meetings. Attend one or more SIG meetings during the two days.
