I noticed that the Socity for I/O Psychology (SIOP) 2006 Conference Program is online and available for viewing. This is one of the biggest events for I/O psychology folks, with an overabundance of seminars, talks, presentations, workshops, and symposiums. Sadly I'm not on the program this year, but there seem to be pleny of other people. In fact, I hear that there are like 25% more items on the agenda this year, which often makes it hard to choose between competing interestes.
The only thing I know for sure is that I will HAVE to attend the one entitled "Learn N'Play: Effectiveness of Videogame-Based Simulations for Training and Development." Because I like that kind of thing.
Otherwise, if you're a member SIOP also has a online scheduling tool that will help you plan out your days if you can figure out how to use it. Unfortunately there's no entry for "Nurse hangover" or "Duck out early to go sight seeing" options, so I'm not sure how useful people will find it. Personally, half the fun for me is whipping out the program and figuring out what I feel like going to next and how the heck I'm going to make it there in time to get a seat.

Are you planning on going this year? I haven't decided 100%, but will probably decide before the 28th.

Yeah, I'm planning on being there. I've only missed one since 1994.

FYI, the conference homepage now has the entire program available either in HTML or PDF (for a while you could only search it): www.siop.org/Conferences/06Con/Program/Default.htm
