Making the Most of Conferences
"It's not what you know, it's who you know."
This might be an old cliché, but it's particularly true in research where (reportedly) over 90% of jobs go to a candidate already known to the employer. This half-day session will examine how you can make the most of conferences as an environment to strategically network and build research connections.
Outcomes:
- Know how to make attendance at conferences productive
- Start thinking about personal goals while attending conferences
- Understand practically how to network during and after a conference
All graduate students and postdoctoral researchers / research staff.
