Meeting Schedule

We will hold quarterly, all-member teleconferences with agendas developed by committee leadership with input from SIG members. We will hold an annual, in-person meeting at the ISPE annual meeting. At the ISPE annual meeting SIG activities may include teaching pre-conference educational sessions, submitting symposia and workshops, and organizing poster walks.
