The Master's of Science program in Industrial-Organizational (I-O) Psychology at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) invites you to participate in the 21st Annual River Cities I-O (RCIO) Psychology Conference. We look forward to welcoming you to this next installment of our long-running conference series that promises to be engaging, relevant, and memorable. This year we will be exploring topics related to the theme of: Optimizing human performance in an era of AI and digital monitoring.
The annual RCIO conference is a highly professional, yet student- and practitioner-friendly event that provides a positive, encouraging, and up-to-date educational experience. Our objective is to make the RCIO Conference Series the most rewarding mini-conference experience you can have each year. This is accomplished with a combination of top-notch presentations by leading experts in the I-O psychology and talent management fields, tailored for relevance and utility to students and practitioners in these domains.
