Map Out Your Goals: The conference experience can seem overwhelming for first time attendees. Consider focusing on a few topics that interest you, instead of trying to participate in everything. Be sure to discuss conference goals with your supervisor before departing to ensure you are attending the appropriate sessions. Please visit the Program to learn more.
Volunteer: We are always looking for volunteers to help at the conference! Volunteering is a great way to meet other members, engage with presenters, and build your personal network! Click HERE to see a list of our volunteer opportunities!

Attend Conference Sessions: Use your planned agenda as a guide, but don't be afraid to try something new. Attend a session that is not directly related to your current responsibilities to broaden your scope as a research administrator! You may discover new ideas, practices, and connections where you least expect them!
