How to make the most of events
SPOTLIGHT ON EVENTS NATUREJOBS ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE EVENTS FEATURE How to make the most of events Going to a scientific event? Get tips and advice on networking, presentations, time management and more. “Visiting a conference is like pressing the reset button — sometimes you meet someone who makes you think differently about where you’re heading.” Sally Davison, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) WHATEVER THE scientific subject or trend, there will be a conference or event to promote and explore it. All over the world, and in every discipline, there are opportunities to deliver ideas, discover the impacts of new research and look for new career avenues. But to get the most out of scientific conferences and events it pays to be prepared. Being equipped with prior knowledge of what the conference offers can ensure you get the most out of attending. Christine McCary, chair of employment concerns at the US National Association of GraduateProfessional Students (NAGPS), had first-hand experience of the benefits of preparation at a recent event. When she approached Q: How many scientific meetings or conferences are you planning to attend in 2011? 7 5% 4% 19% 2% None 1 6 | NAT U R E J O B S | 2 3 J U N E 2 0 1 1 One to three Four to six More than six Source: Naturejobs poll, n = 418 the person presenting a poster of interest, she was expecting to speak to a fellow student, but instead discovered the presenter was a senior scientist from the student’s lab. Fortunately, she’d read up on the research beforehand. “We ended up talking for about an hour,” she says. “It was a great experience.” Conferences and events are a common fi xture for most scientists — more than 80 per cent of respondents in a recent Naturejobs poll planned to attend at least one this year (see image). Whether you’re looking forward to networking and catching up on the latest advances in your field, or just want a break from the lab or office, several strategies can help you make the most of your time: picking the right events, maximizing networking opportunities, delivering effective presentations, managing time, and navigating logistics. With such a varied calendar of events, choosing the most relevant conferences is crucial. “It really depends on what you need at that point in time,” says Anne-Marie Glynn, programme manager for courses and workshops at the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), which funds around 80 events each year. Generally speaking, larger events offer a bigger selection of speakers and a broader perspective, while smaller events are often better for networking. “If you want an overview of the subject you are interested in, then a big conference is probably the place to go,” says Robin Holliday, Fellow of the UK’s Royal Society, which holds around 30 conferences of various sizes each year in London and Buckinghamshire. “If you are a leader yourself, it is better to have face-to-face interaction at smaller events.” Nifty networking Networking is one of the main benefits of attending conferences, but it’s not always easy to get started. Rebecca Twells, manager of scientific conferences and advanced courses at the Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom, suggests opening a conversation with a question or observation about the subject of the conference rather than trying personal small talk. To break the ice Twells suggests reading up on the person you want to talk to. “Look at their abstract and think of a question to ask before you approach them,” she says. Check whether the event programme includes any formal networking events. For example, some of the Wellcome Trust’s smaller conferences feature a ‘speednetworking’ element that works on the same principle as speed dating. “People sit down, have a couple of minutes to chat to someone and then move on,” explains Twells. The format can help delegates who are reticent about trying to break the ice on their own. Remember to maximize incidental networking opportunities, such as coffee and lunch breaks. “If you use that time to check emails and phone messages, then you’re cutting down on your networking time,” says Sally Davison, head of the course and conference office at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Heidelberg, Germany, which has hosted around 10,000 attendees at its Advanced Training Centre (ATC) since it opened in March 2010. “Consider having an out-of-office reply so you can focus 100 per cent on the meeting.” Holliday agrees, saying informality and making time for discussion is essential. If you’re interested in meeting a particular speaker, be aware WELLCOME LIBRARY, LONDON that some will only stay for their talk. Check with the conference organiser when speakers will be arriving, and try to stay at the same hotel, if possible. “Often organisers identify invited speakers and scientific organisers with a different badge, so look out for that,” adds Davison. To make it easier for those you meet to remember you, consider taking a business card with a photo or a link to your blog. Be aware that some fellow delegates may not be as comfortable networking because their working environment has a more rigid hierarchy. For students such events are a chance to explore potential career opportunities in a more casual setting than a formal interview, but you still need to be prepared for meeting senior scientists. “Doing research ahead of time can really bring down stress levels,” says NAGPS’s McCary. Reading up on the scientist’s work will also equip you with the necessary knowledge to allow subtle selfpromotion: “You can slide in some SPOTLIGHT ON EVENTS NATUREJOBS ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE comments that show you would be an addition to their lab.” Whatever your networking strategy, be assured that your fellow scientists are there to talk to you. “Our speakers are there specifically to help attendees get the most out of the event,” says Darren Hughes, a scientific officer in the Wellcome Trust’s conferences and courses team. “They’re extremely approachable — participants shouldn’t feel intimidated.” Powerful presentations If you’re preparing a poster for a conference, make sure you check the size and orientation of the poster board you’ll be given when you get there. When thinking about design and layout, take inspiration from other events you attend. “Look around and see what appeals to you and what you think works,” says McCary. During the poster session, try to be proactive and approach people looking at your work. For oral presentations, good timekeeping is essential. “Make The UK’s Wellcome Trust runs up to 25 courses and 30 conferences and summer schools each year. sure you know how long you are expected to speak for, and how much of the allotted time is for Q&As,” says Davison. “Take into consideration that the programme has been developed with care.” Pace your presentation beforehand in front of colleagues, and consider making provision for an early stop point so that you ❯❯ 9 60 50 70 80 130 120 110 100 90 20 10 10 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 Cancer Genomics 120 130 10 20 30 11 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 12 13 0 0 10 20 30 40 12 50 60 70 80 90 10 20 30 40 13 50 60 70 80 90 100 10 20 30 40 14 50 60 70 80 90 100 10 20 30 EMBL Advanced Training Centre ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE 14 JULY 40 15 50 60 70 80 90 10 20 30 40 50 16 60 70 80 10 REGISTRATION DEADLINE 20 30 40 50 60 70 60 70 11 AUGUST 50 10 20 30 40 20 50 40 30 20 10 19 40 30 20 18 50 40 30 20 10 10 17 www.embo-embl-symposia.org Structure and Dynamics of Cutting-edge biomedical training, discussion and debate at the worldfamous Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge.

If you don’t need to present any data and are giving a more general presentation, consider omitting slides altogether. If you get it right, the style can captivate your audience. However, you’ll need to balance that against the lack of visual reinforcement of your message and the increased potential for misunderstanding. Consider carefully the level at which you pitch your content, even at more specialised events. “You can never assume that everyone in the audience has the same experience as you,” says Glynn. When presenting data, avoid using red and green together in graphs as this can cause problems for colour-blind people. And if you’ll be including any unpublished data, it’s best to indicate this clearly. Visit the lecture room in advance and meet the audio-visual (AV) staff so that you can check whether your presentation will be compatible with the system being used. Technical problems can “throw even experienced speakers off”, says Glynn. It’s also a good idea to meet the person chairing your session beforehand. Get lots of practice if you’re not very experienced at presenting. “It is just a quantity game,” says McCary. “The more times you do it, the more confident you will feel.” Keeping track of time Time management becomes more important at larger conferences featuring concurrent sessions. Choose what you will attend beforehand, and check whether you need to register for workshops in advance. If you’re interested in two simultaneous presentations, check to see if one is repeated, or if it has an associated poster presentation that you could attend instead. Find out whether the presentations are being filmed for the conference website, or ask a colleague if they could cover one for you. If you’re attending on your own, try to find a fellow delegate who might be willing to split the programme. “Sometimes organisers pair up students when arranging accommodation,” says EMBL’s Davison. “By default you get a ‘buddy’ straight away, and you can build your programme as a pair.” Remember to check the final programme when you arrive at the conference for any last-minute changes. If you find yourself in a parallel session that isn’t what you expected, “feel free to leave”, says McCary. “At big meetings people are moving about all the time.” A time-management tip that can help the whole conference run more smoothly is to submit your abstract to the organisers in good time. “Try to avoid submitting it on the day of the deadline,” says Davison. Back to basics If you need to book accommodation for an event, check the conference website for recommended hotels. The organisers may have secured a discount, and those hotels will likely be closer to the venue and other delegates will be staying there. If recommended hotels are more expensive than others in the area, weigh this up against the potential benefits. If money is an issue, you could look into youth hostels or consider #OGGVKPIQHOKPFU 4GIKUVGTQPNKPGPQYHQTVJG 4Q[CN5QEKGV[oUKPVGTPCVKQPCN UEKGPVKHKEEQPHGTGPEGU pairing up with a colleague to share the cost of a hotel suite. Visas are another area to consider. “Arrange that as early as possible,” says Twells. Make sure you’re clear about which visa you need and watch out for any areas of potential confusion — for example, delegates from outside Europe who need a ‘Schengen’ visa to travel to one of the 25 European countries that make up the Schengen Area should be aware that the visa does not allow entry to the United Kingdom and Ireland. During the conference, make sure you adhere to policies on disseminating content from presentations. If you post something related to unpublished data on Twitter, for example, you could be inadvertently jeopardising a patent application or journal submission. If you need more information at any point, be sure to check the event website and any emails you have received. Many conferences will also have dedicated staff on hand to answer specific questions. “We’re here to help,” says Twells. A fresh perspective Whether you’re a conference newcomer or a seasoned pro, attending events can give you a new outlook on your work and career. “You never know who you’ll get talking to,” says EMBL’s Davison. “Visiting a conference is like pressing the reset button — sometimes you meet someone who makes you think differently about where you’re heading.” ■ Nature editorial staff have no responsibility for content (4''VQCVVGPF 1 8 | NAT U R E J O B S | 2 3 J U N E 2 0 1 1 8KUKVTQ[CNUQEKGV[QTIUEKGPVKHKEOGGVKPIU 6JGECNNHQTRTQRQUCNUHQTQWTOGGVKPIU RTQITCOOGKUQRGPsUWDOKVCRTQRQUCNCPF JGNRUJCRGVJGHWVWTGQH[QWTHKGNFYKVJVJG 7-oUPCVKQPCNCECFGO[QHUEKGPEG 8KUKVTQ[CNUQEKGV[QTIUEKGPVKUVUHQTFGVCKNU Discover global scientific events at the new look natureevents.com tDPOGFSFODFT tNFFUJOHT tXPSLTIPQT tTZNQPTJB tDPVSTFT tTFNJOBST tTDJFOUJfiDQSPHSBNT E:[email protected] U213951E EVENTS FEATURE NATUREJOBS W213706E 1 st BBEST ;^ghi7gVo^a^Vc7^dZcZg\n HX^ZcXZVcYIZX]cdad\n8dc[ZgZcXZ 8VbedhYd?dgYd!HdEVjad!7gVo^a 6j\jhi!&)i]"&-i]!'%&& ]iie/$$WWZhi#dg\#Wg ?d\ehcWj_ed0WWZhi5WWZhi#dg\#Wg I]Z'ij8hWp_b_Wd8_e[d[h]oIY_[dY[WdZJ[Y^debe]o 9ed\[h[dY[l^aaWZVcdjihiVcY^c\!hiViZ"d["i]Z"VgiZkZci ^ci]ZÒZaYd[W^dZcZg\n#6eg^k^aZ\ZY[dgjbl^aaWZVkV^aVWaZ [dgZmeZgihidegZhZcii]Z^gaViZhihX^Zci^ÒXVhlZaaVh iZX]cdad\^XVaVX]^ZkZbZcihVcYidY^hXjhhWjh^cZhhVcY eda^Xn[dgi]ZYZkZadebZcid[i]ZhZXidg# K^h^ihX]ZYjaZ/6j\jhi&-i]VcY&.i]!'%&& 8h[[Z_d] 8_ej[Y^debe]o LZd[[Zgi]gZZk^h^ihidXdbeaZbZciVhigdc\ hX^Zci^ÒXegd\gVb# K^h^ihl^aaWZ^cildhj\VgXVcZegdYjXi^dcVgZVh ^cHdEVjadhiViZ/G^WZ^gdEgZidVcY6gVgVh# LZl^aak^h^iHdBVgi^c]dVcYHd?ddB^aah!
