In order to facilitate the meetings of special interest groups (SIGs), it is necessary that all pre-existing and new SIGs notify us in advance so that we can collect the convener contact information and schedule the groups and meeting space for you. Please see the lists below for SIGs held in 2010. If you would like to convene one of these groups or convene a new group, please contact DeeJay Garringo, Program Director, at dj@sswr.org by Monday, September 6, 2010.

The SIGs will be scheduled for either Friday (January 14) or Saturday (January 15), 7:00am-8:00am or 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm. Due to the complexity of the schedule we cannot consider scheduling requests.
