Conferences are great places to meet other researchers and learn about current research in your field. However making the most of these opportunities isn't always easy, especially if you are attending a conference for the first time. If you have experiences of conferences or any tips on how to work a conference, please share them here. Also, feel free to add links to accepted abstracts, presentation slides or PDFs of finished posters below.
