1 Choose the right conference

The first step is to choose a conference that matches your interests, goals, and budget. There are many types of computer science conferences, such as academic, industry, or community events. You should consider the topics, speakers, format, and location of the conference, as well as the registration fee, travel expenses, and availability of scholarships or grants. You can use online platforms, such as Conference Alerts, to find and compare conferences in your field.

When selecting the right computer science conference, it pays to dig deeper than surface cost and locale details. Specifically, research the event's impact factor in your field - high-impact conferences feature cutting-edge content and leaders for enriched learning. Also evaluate networking potentials through interactive sessions, workshops, and gatherings allowing substantive engagement. Consider publication opportunities in esteemed journals or databases for elevating academic profiles. Ensure it focuses on rapidly advancing technologies like AI and blockchain to stay updated. This judicious investigation process enables choosing conferences matching immediate goals and long-term career growth.

2 Set your objectives

Before you register for a conference, you should have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and how you will measure your success. Do you want to learn new skills, find new collaborators, or get feedback on your work? Do you want to present a paper, a poster, or a demo? Do you want to meet specific people or organizations? Write down your objectives and prioritize them according to your needs and expectations.

3 Prepare your materials

Depending on your objectives, you may need to prepare different materials for the conference, such as a paper, a poster, a demo, a resume, or a business card. You should follow the conference guidelines and deadlines for submitting your materials and make sure they are clear, concise, and professional. You should also practice your presentation skills and prepare some questions or comments for the speakers or the audience.

4 Network effectively

One of the main benefits of attending a conference is to network with other computer scientists and professionals. You should take advantage of the opportunities to interact with the speakers, the organizers, and the attendees, both during and after the sessions. You can use social media, such as Twitter or LinkedIn, to connect with them online and share your insights or feedback. You should also be respectful, attentive, and curious, and avoid being too pushy or self-promotional.

Go for the experience, but stay for the community. The synergy that is harnessed at large technology events is undeniable. 1) Share those moments on social media, 2) Tag the event hosts (not just the company, but the people and connections you made as well). Ultimately, you are sure to make a lasting impression. At conferences and events, people remember faces, and interactions; not names.

5 Learn actively

Another benefit of attending a conference is to learn from the experts and the latest research in your field. You should plan your agenda and select the sessions that are most relevant and interesting for you. You should also take notes, ask questions, and participate in discussions. You can use online tools, such as Google Scholar or Zotero, to find and save the papers or slides that are presented at the conference.

6 Follow up

After the conference, you should review your notes and materials and reflect on what you learned and how you can apply it to your work or studies. You should also follow up with the people you met and thank them for their time or input. You can also share your conference experience and outcomes with your colleagues, mentors, or supervisors, and seek their feedback or suggestions.

If you’re traveling alone to an event, don’t fret—a selfie tripod is your friend. Don’t be embarrassed to set this up to capture photographs and moments in time that you’ll never get back. You can later use these pictures as leverage on social media to tell others about your amazing in-person conference experience. It not only gets you exposure and noticed by others in your field, but you get to tout about your expertise, and look good doing it. In the digital age, being creative with how you “follow-up” is key.

If you're a student at an educational institution, your school probably has a program that will reimburse you for travel and registration fees for conferences. While less common, the same is true for employees of businesses in the tech industry. Contact your employer or school to see if such a program exists, and you can offset the cost of a conference you may not have been able to afford to go to!

Never underestimate the power of waiting until the deadline cut-off to register for a mid-size tech event. While early bird rates are good, last-minute offers could be better. If expected quotas are not met toward the registration deadline, discounts may be offered to increase visibility and numbers. The discounts are often incentive enough to not only get conference participants, but to get you a rate that you are more comfortable with.
