So what are some of these opportunities and how can you achieve the most out of the few days?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The opportunity to present your research (<a href=\"http:\/\/ipresentwell.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">well<\/a>!)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>At the end of the day this still needs to be the first priority for conferencing.\u00a0 A poorly prepared presentation sticks out like a sore thumb and the audience certainly can tell the difference between a speaker who is nervous (and be very forgiving towards them) and a speaker who is winging it (and be far less forgiving). Be organized and submit your abstract before the deadline, or if you\u2019ve missed out keep an eye out for late breaking abstract opportunities, which often come up in the months just before the conference.\u00a0 Also consider submitting for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC1876493\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">poster presentation<\/a> in addition to your oral presentation.\u00a0 Electronic posters are increasingly popular at conferences and are no longer the unfortunate cousin of the oral presentation hidden behind the muffins at afternoon tea.\u00a0 E-posters are less work to prepare than traditional posters, so feasible to do in addition to an oral, and gives you lots more opportunity for discussion and two-way dialogue about your research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>The opportunity to meet other students<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Conferences early on in your career can be frightfully intimidating, especially if you\u2019re not there with your supervisor or colleagues from your research institute.\u00a0 Meeting a group of other students early on can make all the difference.\u00a0 Many students feel like a fish out of water at their first few conferences (or remember that feeling) and therefore actively want to make new connections. So attend any and all of the social events for students and introduce yourself to people.\u00a0 You know you will already have a few things in common since you\u2019re at the same conference and experiencing post grad life. Your fellow students may also be your future research collaborators, so these student friendships you build at conferences could be of huge benefit into your future career.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>The opportunity to meet leaders in your field<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Sometimes it\u2019s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel of your study program, and meeting or listening to inspiring leaders in your field can be just what\u2019s needed to reinvigorate you.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/theicecream.org\/what-should-i-get-out-of-conferences\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Be prepared<\/a> and read the conference program and speaker list beforehand.\u00a0 Is there someone you\u2019re simply desperate to meet one-on-one?\u00a0 Perhaps a mid-career researcher?\u00a0 Contact them beforehand to arrange a time to talk, as you shouldn\u2019t expect to bump into everyone at morning tea. But this comes with a warning, make sure you have a clear intention as they will inevitably ask \u2018so what is it that you want from me\u2019 and you need to be prepared with a response.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>The opportunity for careers information and inspiration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Jobs in injury prevention are varied, and that\u2019s one reason why this field is so appealing.\u00a0 Being at a conference and seeing the breadth of attendees and presentations can provide invaluable advice and inspiration for students about what to expect post-graduation, whether you intend to remain in academia or not.\u00a0 Have a look in the conference program for any careers focused sessions designed for students and early career researchers.\u00a0 Conferences are also a good opportunity to find out about professional organizations in your field (like the <a href=\"http:\/\/aipn.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AIPN<\/a> for example).\u00a0 Joining organizations such as these provides you with a network of colleagues, and often a discount on your conference registration or the chance to apply for a student award. Once you get to the conference browse through the sponsor stalls, you never know what inspiration you might find there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong>The opportunity for skills development and to learn something new<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It\u2019s increasingly common for conferences to have satellite skills development workshops either held in the preceding days or over breakfast.\u00a0 Be sure to check out the conference website beforehand, as these may require an additional registration, but can help make it easier to <a href=\"https:\/\/thesiswhisperer.com\/2017\/05\/24\/making-the-most-of-your-conference-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">justify the need for conference travel<\/a>.\u00a0 Conferences also provide the opportunity to learn about areas of research you may have never heard of. Try going to some concurrent presentation sessions on a topic you\u2019re less familiar with, you might learn about a different research method or skill that could be innovatively applied to your area.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong>The opportunity to have fun<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Go to the side events \u2013 the workshops, the pre-conference tours, the conference dinner &#8211; just do it!\u00a0 They always offer a chance to learn something new (related or not to your research) and can help with the nerves and anxiety you might be feeling about more formal conference networking.\u00a0 Delegates get the chance to let their hair down at these events, and that gives you the chance to see the person behind the research expert, make some friends and have a bit of fun, as a student you deserve it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>At this year\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/event.icebergevents.com.au\/injuryprevention2017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Australian Injury Prevention Network conference<\/a>, the scientific committee have taken these six goals as the inspiration for the development of an exciting conference program for students.\u00a0 There will be a focus on posters, a preconference walking tour and informal presentations, a careers panel, a preconference workshop on meta-analysis and a speed networking session just for students designed to help you develop your research pitch.
