Networking & Events

at NCURA's 65th Annual Meeting


 

 
 
 
 

 

Participating in the NCURA 65th Annual Meeting gives you a unique opportunity to network with Research Administrators who face the same day-to-day issues as you.

Here are a number of benefits to networking with your colleagues at NCURA’s 65th Annual Meeting!

  • Brainstorm: If two heads are better than one – just imagine how much better 20 or 30 heads will be. By networking with other people in your same situation you can uncover new solutions, new ideas and even new ways of looking at situations.
  • Recharge: Comparing notes with other professionals helps to reinvigorate your enthusiasm. You are not alone!
  • Build Contacts: Establishing a contact list of people you have personally met through networking at NCURA’s 65th Annual Meeting makes future communications more personal whether it’s a call for information or a question.
  • Share Resources: Connecting with other Research Administrators on a first name basis makes sharing resources easy and helps ideas flow!
  • Make New Friends:It is not an unusual phenomenon for long-lasting friendships to originate at NCURA Conferences!

NCURA’s 65th Annual Meeting creates an excellent platform to network, share stories and experiences, ask for advice and generally compare notes. You can learn new techniques and different ways to approach situations. We encourage you to take advantage of the social time away from the business agenda to mix and interact with colleagues and put faces to names, which is just as important as all the information you will take away from the conference.
