Professional conferences and workshops can play a significant role in building your network, expanding your expertise, and showcasing your skills in graduate school. They can also be daunting and overwhelming, even after having attended a few. In this workshop, we will provide you with the basics of making the most of professional conferences, workshops, and other similar professional events so that you can network without worrying about what to do and how to show up! We will cover the difference between conferences and workshops, specific types of sessions and networking events that can happen as part of a conference, what to do to prepare beforehand, and do’s and don’t’s of attending. This event is intended to be interactive and therefore a recording will not be available. Brought to you by the University Career Center, in partnership with Rackham Graduate School.
