Things to Do When Attending Academic Conferences
Conferences are very vital if you are interested in becoming a pro in your field; more so, it is a fascinating opportunity to meet with new individuals, learn some new stuff, and so on.
However, there is a lot of hard work to be done. Attending a conference is more than just flying down to the venue, take a seat and listen. No! You have a role to play as you must not only pass through the conference, the conference must pass through you too.
While there are different roles you are to play before, during and after the conference, we will be limiting this post to what you are to do during the conference. But rest assured, we will talk more on the other aspects in our other blog posts. So, don’t be far from here.
How to Improve the Quality of Talks at Academic Conferences?
An academic conference is an event for researchers to present and discuss their work usually put together by an academic body or a group of researchers with a mutual interest. It serves as an essential avenue for the exchange of information between researchers.
People attend conferences to learn about new analysis and findings in domains that are either theirs or are unfamiliar to them, to meet their peer groups from other organizations, and to have fresh and healthy discussions about the state of their mutual interests.
Academicians can be good because they usually do authentic and sincere research to support their claims. However, the downside is that they can be overly pedagogical and dull. A lot of these conferences are a waste of time and resources; everyone is either dozing off or doing something else. A research showed that almost 50% of conference attendees spend most of the time at the meeting on social media while more than 50% are busy doing other work not related to the topic. This leads us to question the quality of the talks at conferences.
