It is most useful for early-career and independent scholars who want to present a paper, get feedback and publish in proceedings, since accepted papers appear in the RAIS Conference Proceedings and are indexed in Google Scholar, IDEAS/RePEc and other databases. Researchers who need a highly selective, single-discipline venue with a large specialist audience would get less from it, as this is an interdisciplinary social sciences and humanities meeting, although the hybrid format lets remote participants join without traveling to Washington DC.
Academics at humanities and social science conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a blazer or sweater, with presenters often dressing a notch smarter. Washington DC in mid-November is cool, so a coat is advisable.
