conferences [2024/06/21 10:01] (current) asimons Added info about arranging travel and presenting. Presentation information still needs work; maybe it would be better to have a whole extra page on "how to give a good math talk" |

| - | <p>(add content here) | + | <p>Most conferences have some information about travel (usually under something like "local information"). This can be helpful for figuring out which airport to fly to, and transport options from the airport to the conference site. You can book your flights directly through AggieExpense. This is a good option because flights are sometimes cheaper than the airline advertises, and you often get bumped up in boarding order (which is great if you're traveling without a checked bag and really need to make sure you get on early enough that your carry-on fits in the overhead storage space). Another advantage to doing this is that it makes reimbursements from Davis easier, since you already have all the receipts in the system. The only thing to make sure of if you do book travel through AggieExpense is that you find someone to cover your discussions/office hours/calc room; the university can see that you're traveling and it is possible they ask you about your missed duties. |

| + | <p>Aside: you can also use AggieExpense to book flights for personal travel (but definitely don't do this if you are a first year trying to establish residency and are traveling for long periods of time or over the summer). | ||

In particular, if you plan to do a chalk talk ask about how many blackboards/whiteboards there will be, and of what type (a single smallish blackboard is much different than two panels of sliding blackboards, and so you will have to prepare a different kind of talk!). If you plan to do a slide talk then confirm what kind of setup they will have (should you bring just a usb, email your slides to the organizer, bring your computer with a specific adapter, etc). Also, confirm the amount of time you have for talking and for questions (a 30 minute talk with built in extra 15 minutes for questions before the next talk is different length than a 30 minute window that includes question time, and sometimes both are advertised as a "30 minute talk"). Once you know what kind of talk you can give, practice practice practice! You should plan on giving a practice talk to some kind of audience at least once. (This audience could be just your advisor, it could be the Student Run Research Seminar, or it could be a couple friends in the grad program). Practice will help you iron out the stumbling blocks and give a better talk at the conference when you have potential future collaborators or hiring committee members watching! |
