Conference Prep Planner | 14-Page Printable PDF
Going to a conference is an investment of your time, energy, and money. Make sure you come home with more than a tote bag and a stack of business cards.
The Conference Prep Planner is a 14-page printable guide designed to help graduate students, postdocs, researchers, and early-career professionals attend conferences with more intention and less last-minute scrambling.

What do I actually want to learn?
Which sessions are worth prioritizing?
Who would I like to meet?
How will I introduce myself?
What do I want people to remember about my research?
How will I prepare for questions after my poster or talk?
How can I manage my energy during a packed conference?
What should I do after the conference so valuable connections don't disappear?
