PSG 2024 – Event details and call for volunteers!

PSG 2024 is jam-packed with amazing plenary speakers, sessions, workshops, events, and field trips! As the Annual Meeting nears, we’d like to highlight some of the upcoming events.

Be sure to join us for the PSG Welcome Night (Tuesday, February 20th, 6-9pm)! This year’s Welcome Night event will be at Flatstick Pub in Seattle’s South Lake Union neighborhood, not far from the conference venue (approximately 1 mile [1.6 kilometers], easy transit on the South Lake Union Streetcar). This event venue features indoor miniature golf and duffleboard (a mix between shuffleboard and miniature golf). Food and beverages will be provided! Come play some games and connect with PSG colleagues!

Clothing and Gear Swap: Clean out your closets and give your gently-used field clothing and gear a second life! This year, the EID Committee will be running a clothing and gear swap table in the back of the main plenary room (Leonesa Ballroom). Donations will be accepted at registration or directly at the swap table. Students and early-career researchers can select gear from the donation table on Wednesday and Thursday, and the table will be open to all attendees on Friday. Any items remaining at the close of the meeting will be donated to the West Seattle Food Bank.

PSG 2024 needs volunteers to help with a variety of tasks and activities! If you have some time to spare, please consider helping out. If you are interested, please contact Justine Miller (justine@luanaevents.com).
