We are excited to introduce a new initiative at APSS - the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) program. SIGs are designed to bring together like-minded individuals who share a common passion or interest in a specific topic, hobby, or field.

Participating in/ attending an SIG offers a unique opportunity to deepen your knowledge, connect with other professionals who share your interests, and contribute to the industry. We believe that joining a SIG is not only a way to enhance your expertise but also a chance to engage in meaningful discussions and collaborations with your peers.
