How did you hear about it? From the mailing list of SLMath
What was your experience? Not all talks at the conference were equally interesting. The part from which I took the most away was networking with other attendees. I met a lot of PhDs and Post Docs who work on similar problems as me. They gave me advice on my academic career and were very encouraging while I struggled to see myself in academia.
Do you have any advice for people interested in attending this conference? For any conference, it is important to know the speakers before you go. Pay attention to the talk you are most interested in and don’t feel bad if you fall asleep during a boring talk. Try to connect to as many people as possible and discuss with them about their research and your research.
