Updates to the Group Processes 25th Anniversary Conference

The Twenty Fifth Anniversary Group Processes Conference is planned for the Sheraton New York on August 9 (immediately preceding ASA 2013). The conference celebrates the accomplishments of researchers in group processes over the last 25 years while looking forward to exciting new developments in the field.  The special focus of the conference is on bridging between the research traditions of group processes and the growing area of research in social media and systems of computer mediated interaction.
During the morning program scholars in several major areas of research in groups processes will set the stage for the future of research in group processes. The afternoon program will focus on building new research opportunities in theories of group processes. The program includes graduate student round tables, current research presentations, and a panel discussion on group processes, the internet, and research collaboration between academia and social media industry professionals. 
New York City is a fitting venue for the Group Processes 25th Anniversary Conference. Through the generous support of our sponsors we are able to partly subsidize the cost of attendance for all participants, and especially for graduate students.  For their generous support we would like to thank facebook, Emerald Publishing, Ohio University, State University of New York at Albany, and Ashland University.
