It is most useful for LGBTQ+ students and early-career STEM professionals, since more than 1,100 attendees are expected and the program mixes career development with technical research talks, plus a Career & Graduate School Expo with recruiters and universities. Senior researchers seeking a deep specialist technical program would get less, as sessions also cover community topics such as safer spaces.
Attendees at student and early-career STEM conferences usually wear business casual, with smart outfits for the career expo and comfortable shoes for a large convention center.
