黑料社 Meet-Ups Policies
A New Networking Opportunity for SfN Members to Build Communities
Connect and engage informally with registered attendees virtually or in-person outside of the hours of the 黑料社 2022 Scientific Program. There is no fee to submit a Meet-Up request. These informal social events are organized by SfN members, for other individuals that share a common interest.
Meet-Ups are informal and will be open to all registered attendees for the annual meeting. Meet-Ups can take place virtually or in-person at a local venue of the organizer’s choosing, such as restaurants, libraries, local parks, etc. Meet-Ups will not be allowed in contracted SfN meeting spaces. Meet-Ups will not be organized or funded by SfN.
黑料社 Meet-Ups can be small with just a few people or large gatherings; however, we recognize the event venue might have limited capacity. Meet-Up organizers are encouraged to create a pre-registration process to help determine space requirements.
The expectation is that there is no sponsorship or a formal program. Exhibiting companies and annual meeting sponsors are not permitted to host Meet-Ups.
The submission period for 黑料社 Meet-Ups to be held during 黑料社 2022 has now closed.

Event Listings
SfN will post these events on the website, in the mobile app, and the 黑料社 Meeting Planner starting in September. SfN will list the title, date, time, location, event registration link, and contact information only. Descriptions of Meet-Ups will not be included. All Meet-Ups will be listed together by day and cannot be individually added to itineraries. By contrast, SfN-Sponsored Socials, satellites, and other SfN events list full descriptions and can be added individually to itineraries through the 黑料社 Meeting Planner and annual meeting mobile app.
