What is the PTCMW Fall Event?

The Personnel Testing Council of Metropolitan Washington’s annual Fall Event is the D.C. area’s largest gathering of Industrial-Organizational Psychology professionals and students. Each year, the event brings together I-O psychologists, academicians, practitioners from the public and private sectors, government professionals, and graduate students for an evening of professional development, networking, and community.

Join us for an evening featuring awards and announcements, a featured panel discussion, food and drinks, networking, sponsor booths, and raffle prizes.

Featured Panel: Perspectives from I/O Psychologists in the Military

This year’s featured program will be a fireside-chat-style panel featuring I/O psychologists who serve or support the military. Panelists will share perspectives from their careers and experiences applying I/O psychology in military and military-supporting environments.

The conversation will explore topics such as:

Career paths into military and military-supporting I/O roles
How I/O psychologists apply their training and skillsets in these environments
The connection between graduate education and real-world practice
Experiences and lessons learned throughout their careers
Advice for graduate students seeking relevant experience
Challenges and opportunities associated with military I/O work
What panelists enjoy most about their work
Pathways to serve the country through I/O psychology, including military, civilian, and government roles

Panelists will be announced soon!
