On June 24, the local hosts are planning several optional activities for SIPS registrants and their guests who would like to explore Budapest. There will also be a RepliCATS workshop around lunch time. More information about these activities can be found at https://www.improvingpsych.org/SIPS2025/day-0/
Conference Social Event (June 26)
On the evening of June 26 (Day 2 of the conference), SIPS will host a conference-wide social event on a sightseeing boat on the Danube River. The boat will cruise between 6 pm and 8 pm, but the venue will be available until 9 pm. Finger food will be served, including vegan, vegetarian, glucose- and lactose-free options.
“Admire the breathtaking view of the Danube river and the embankment. It’s an unforgettable experience to take a look to Budapest from our deck and praise its beauty, for you are not able to do that from any other part of the capital city.”
Location: Jégverem street, next to the Chainbridge – Európa hajó (Europa ship)
Extra Guests: Entrance to this event is included with any in-person conference registration for the registrant. If you wish to bring any extra guests along who are not registering for the meeting, you can purchase extra tickets for this social event by adding “additional guests” during meeting registration. This option is available under Guest Registration, after filling in your background and demographics information. Extra tickets are US$55 each. If you have already finalized your registration, but would like to add guests, you can purchase additional tickets here. Email sips@improvingpsych.org if you have questions or run into any issues.
Online
SIPS Curated Networking Forum (Online Social #1)
Join other SIPS attendees for a fun “speed networking” event!
What is that and how does it work?
Fill out this form to tell us a bit about you and which topics you’re hoping to connect around. The SIPS Conference organizers then create a personalized list of pairings for each participant. On the day of the event, go to the Zoom link that will be sent to your email, and come meet other SIPSers in short 1-on-1 meetings and in small groups! We promise we’ll work hard to make it fun, and much less awkward than the typical Zoom meeting!
Online Open Science Escape Room (Online Social #2)
Join other SIPS attendees for a puzzle-solving hour as we play through an online open science-themed escape room game in small groups: https://norment.github.io/ecrm20_escaperoom/about/ We will assign groups during the event so you can come alone or with others!
(If you’ve already played through this, you can still join and hang out with the moderators in the main Zoom room!)
