Introducing the SSO 2019 Human Library

Do you find that getting the facts directly from an expert can be the best source of information? We understand that speaking to a thought leader can be informative and inspiring, and that it is also challenging to connect with these busy leaders.

The SSO Human Library is a new concept that provides opportunities for SSO ACT and ACT INT members to talk one-on-one with experts from around the country. Starting in January SSO Members will be able to sign-up for ten-minute time slots on Thursday, 3/28 or Friday, 3/29 to meet with an expert for a specific disease-site conversation.

Sign up today!

Our Human Librarians are SSO leaders who are experts in their field. They serve as either the Chair or the Vice Chair of their respective SSO Disease Site Work Group. You can sign up for your ten-minute time slot with one of the following librarians:
