Can't wait until the pandemic is over and I have to fly 24 hours across the world to pin up a poster and sleep my way through 3 days of presentations again

Virtual conferences have been pretty OK at helping me keep up with what my colleagues are doing, but weirdly I miss the vendor hall. There aren't many better opportunities to see what our friends in industry are doing.

As you get older, you appreciate the chance to catch up w/ your old friends more, esp. those who went into different sub-fields. That's the main reason I ever go to big conferences at this point.

As a senior academic, the pandemic has put an end to my conference travels once and for all, I think. But for the sake of early-career colleagues, I hope we do manage to make them keep happening
#WhenAllThisIsOver, because those boozy networking sessions can lead to great things. -

I could not have stated it better. I feel so out of the loop re: GNR resistance without conferences, and the majority of the best info and connections I get from them come in bars. Funny, that.

All my best conference networking has been at bars at 2am, trying to match beers with the big profs. It’s usually fun but it comes at a cost for us women sometimes. You never know what people will say or do. It’s honestly been nice to not worry about that whole thing.

Every wife/husband/partner of an academic is rolling their eyes right now hearing what loved ones are really doing during "essential" conferences,while we mind the kids yet again for a hellish week. Setting an alarm at 3am to deliver a presentation via Zoom is a better option!

The networking I’ve missed a lot. The hangovers not so much.

Before I went to my first conference, my PhD supervisor gave me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_World:_An_Academic_Romance … to read. I subsequently read the other two in the campus trilogy. Although humanities based, it does satirise well the academic conference circuit.
