  Don’t get the problem. Professor picks conference, grad student submits paper and professor’s group pays the trip. Isn’t that how it’s done? I always enjoyed those conferences.

    If it’s a good lab group yeah in bad lab groups the student is frequently footing the bill.

      We always footed the bill (student discount rates though!). And now that I’m the professor, I don’t have that kinda money or support to foot the bill.

  Heck, the events I present at are a freaking fantastic time - so much so that the hardest part is getting in to present.

      SQL Server. Dozens of free events a year, one in most major cities, 20-40 Sessions/Presenters, token payment that covers lunch (and ensures attendance).

      The main event (PASS Summit) is held yearly, has 150 to 200 presentations/presenters, and presenters admission is free. It’s a community event and it’s freaking fantastic.

  I mark such emails as phishing. I know that stretches the definition but it’s not totally off.

  Idk what conferences you’re going to man I’ve enjoyed mine once I get through that preliminary don’t know anyone struggle. Having speakers in person allows actual conversation beyond the q+a. Also students and “trainees” get actually discounted rates. Besides which your PIs funding should be reimbursing you which is means you get cc points for free.

    Conferences are great. I assumed this was about those random e-mails that invite you to an unknown and suspiciously broad conference

  This is a conference with mandatory presence! So what if it’s a climate conference? We’re not in a pandemic anymore. Grow up! /s

  Learn to enjoy the rest of the time during the boondoggle. And most of the time the company is paying for it anyway.

    I just love how some things cost astronomical amounts of money just because academia or the company is supposed to cover those expenses and nobody sane is not going to buy that for themselves anyway :(

      It’s like the nerdy forgotten stepchild of the hospitals, insurance, and pharmaceutical companies.

  Your guys’ presentations aren’t 11 minutes? Fascinating.

  Also, going to a conference when your employer isn’t paying outrageous rates is painful. Fun, but it hurts the wallet so much.
