1. To meet people A big reason for going to conferences is to meet and meet up with people. Conferences bring together people from all different geographical areas who share a common profession or field, and are a great way to meet new people in your industry. At a conference you will be able to get together with people from a wide range of backgrounds or from a number of organizations, whom you may not encounter at your home institution. As you build your professional network, conferences also become a good place for meeting up with people in your industry that you haven’t seen in a while. 2. For people to meet you It may not seem like a notable thing, but conferences are also a good way for people to meet you. Yes, you. You may meet someone at a meal, or they may stop by your seat at a workshop room, and within a few minutes, you can make a connection with someone that you might not even have met if you hadn’t attended the conference. It’s a good way for people to meet you so you can build up your professional network. 3. To learn new things in your field As you sit in on different workshops
