Membership Committee July 2026 Updates

Virtual Mentor Match Recap
The Membership Committee hosted two successful Virtual Mentor Match events on June 15th and June 16th. Participants from all over the globe heard from the ISPE President and President-Elect, learned about the ISPE Mentor Match and Peer Mentoring Programs, and engaged in conversations with peers and senior ISPE members.

Peer Mentor Program
The Peer Mentoring Program continues to support peer-to-peer mentoring to enhance professional skills, broaden perspectives, and build a supportive community within ISPE.  In the next iteration of the Peer Mentoring Program, registration will be extended to SISPEs and post-doctoral fellows. Please be on the lookout for an email about signing up for the Peer Mentoring Program at the end of August/beginning of September.

Annual Meeting Preview
The Membership Committee will be organizing and/or participating in several events during the ISPE Annual Meeting in Milan, Italy.

• The New Member and Early-Stage Investigator Luncheon will provide first-time attendees and early career ISPE members an opportunity to network with senior members of the Society.  Lunch features presentations from leaders in the field of pharmacoepidemiology, food and a fantastic networking opportunity!  The event will take place on Sunday, August 30 at 12:45pm. Attendance is limited, so please RSVP
• The Membership Committee Corner is part of the Academic Showcase taking place during the Welcome Reception. Come learn about members-only opportunities, including our different mentoring programs. The event will take place on Sunday, August 30 at 6pm.
• Building on connections sparked at last year's Annual Meeting, the ISPE Networking Corner will return in 2026. We're once again creating a dedicated space for attendees to connect, build relationships, and strengthen their professional networks during lunch and coffee breaks. If you're participating in the Mentor Match Program, reconnecting with your Peer Mentoring group, or simply hoping to meet others in the ISPE community, we encourage you to make time to find the Networking Corner table at the Annual Meeting in Milan.
