Getting your head around conferences: Conference guide – by Rosie Gordon, Sam Richardson and Laura Zakubinska
We know that going to a conference can be intimidating. Why should you go? What are they for? What do you do there?
In this guide to getting your head around conferences, we hope to answer these questions and provide tips to help you prepare yourself as best as possible. It has been written by three members of the Resilience Revolution in Blackpool, who have a different amount of experience attending such conferences. We hope to share our learning with you, to make attending a conference easier and to give you an idea of what to expect when you go.
It covers: reasons to attend, how to prepare, how to make the most of your time, how to submit an abstract, what types of presentations might take place, top tips for attendees and presenters, a checklist and a glossary.
You can download and read our conference guide ahead of our International Resilience Revolution Conference in Spring 2022.
