Attending Academic Conferences Series:  Why Go, How to Prepare 

Presenting at academic conferences is a mainstay of an academic career. Conferences are places where you share early findings, get valuable feedback, and hone your communication skills. In this series, we’ll demystify the idea of going to a conference, starting with the why and how and then moving through the steps of writing an abstract, preparing a talk or a poster presentation, and refining your delivery, and being prepared to network.

All workshops will be hybrid -- see note for rooms below or join via zoom https://umd.zoom.us/j/96600945845
