Approaching scholars at conferences can be nerve-wracking! Thankfully, at our recent Success Series Event, distinguished scholars gave some great advice on how to network at academic conferences with confidence. One way you can feel more confident when introducing yourself to scholars is by preparing an elevator pitch. Learn how Parris Chandler tailers her elevator pitch depending on who she's speaking with!

Inaccessibility can be manifold: financially, physically, cognitively - let's keep fighting for accessible conferences in higher ed. I keep going back to Brenna Clarke Gray's blog post from last April that outlines this beautifully: https://lnkd.in/gNJU9hQE

Navigating the Conference Maze Just read an eye-opening article by Christine Ro in Nature about the rise of "predatory conferences." As someone who's attended my fair share of industry events, this resonated and got me thinking: • Not all conferences are created equal. Some are outright scams, designed to make money off unsuspecting professionals and researchers. • It's not just newbies who get caught out! It's easy to feel "honored" to be invited as a speaker! • These sham events waste valuable time and damage scientific credibility: the costs go beyond just money. • Many such conferences popped up post-pandemic, the line between legitimate and questionable events has blurred, making it harder to spot the fakes. It's got me reflecting on my own experiences. While I've been fortunate to avoid these obvious scams, I've definitely attended some conferences that left me wondering if they were worth the time and money. We certainly need to be more discerning as conferences can be incredible opportunities for learning and networking, but they're also significant investments.

🧐 Why do you like going to conferences, Isabelle? Do they really teach you anything? 🧐 Last week I had the privilege of attending PBA 2024 in Geneva. 🕵♀️ During this conference, I had a mission. No, I'm not talking about giving another NextMinds workshop. (Although that part was great!) 🕵♀️ My mission was to get a picture. A picture with both my former boss (aka my PhD supervisor) and my current boss. I knew they would both be there (one was chairing the conference, which made my life easier 😅), it was my first conference in 1.5 years, it was THE opportunity! 👀 Why was it so important for you to take this picture, Isabelle? 🤩 Because these two people are not only excellent scientists, they're also fantastic mentors. 🤩 They've both been present in my professional life for over a decade. 🤩 They've both played an essential role in the development of my career, during each step - from the moment I got my PhD to my first steps as an entrepreneur, alongside my position at the university. This image sums up why conferences can have a huge impact on our careers and professional development. I know I've built a lot myself and can take credit for my professional successes, but I wouldn't be where I am without them. 💝 Conferences go beyond presenting research and networking; they allow you to build long-lasting relationships. (And yes, it does feel like being in a picture with George Clooney and Brad Pitt 😂) --- Hi, I'm Isabelle, Captain at NextMinds, which provides early career researchers with tools to help them navigate #academia. 💌 Need help or guidance? DM me and I'll tell you how I can help you.

Do you attend industry conferences? What's the purpose? Usually, conference presentations are more superficial than articles on the same topics and rarely offer anything truly captivating. From my experience, the most interesting part of conferences is the opportunity to engage with speakers in the hallways and ask questions. Asking questions publicly and asking questions in private settings are vastly different experiences. It's a pity that we can't conduct an independent experiment and try both approaches for the same speakers.

𝗠𝘆 𝗛𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗥 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆: 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝟭 Hello connections, I recently attended the HPAIR conference at Harvard, and I'm excited to tell you all about it. But before we get into the details, let me give you a quick overview. ▪️What's HPAIR? HPAIR stands for Harvard College Project for Asian and International Relations. They hold two big conferences every year: HCONF and ACONF. These conferences bring together young leaders from around the world to talk about important global issues. ▪️So, how do you apply? I found out about HPAIR on LinkedIn and applied through their website. The application involved filling out forms and doing interviews to see if you'd be a good fit. ▪️What about the costs? Attending the conference costs $595, but they offer discounts and scholarships to make it accessible for everyone. ▪️How long does it last? The conference lasts for three days and is packed with talks, workshops, networking, and the Impact Challenge, where we work on real-world problems. ▪️What's next after you're accepted? Once you're in, it's important to confirm your attendance and take care of any visa requirements quickly. ▪️Was it worth it? Looking back, I'd say it was a solid 7/10. I learned a lot and made some great connections. Thanks for joining me on this journey. Stay tuned for more in Part 2 of my series.
