-
Whether you'll be attending for your first time, your fifth, or your thirtieth, please consider taking part in the conference guides program hosted by the SMT Professional Development Committee. The conference guides program offers a simple and informal means for longer-term SMT members to connect with newer members while opening a door for additional social and professional interaction for less-experienced conference participants. If you are a newer member of the society, we would like to extend a hearty welcome to you by pairing you with members of the society who know their way around the meeting. This helps to break some of the formal ice and to demystify the conference. If you are a long-term member, please consider serving as a guide to assist in making the newer member’s experience at the conference pleasant and productive.
How might conference guide assist a newer SMT member? Here a few of the many possibilities:
- finding a session to attend together and debriefing afterwards;
- getting together over coffee to answer questions about the structure of SMT, the purposes of the conference, and how these purposes are carried out in the various forums (paper sessions, panel sessions, meetings, job interviews, etc.);
- attending the opening reception, the exhibit room, a concert, a meal, or another social event and making introductions;
- just being a friendly and supportive contact throughout the meeting (and shortly before and after, if possible)
The conference guides program is not intended to provide detailed career advice or academic mentorship.
Any attendees wishing to be paired with a guide and any SMT members wishing to serve as guides (please volunteer!) are invited to contact Akane Mori directly mori@hartford.edu by two weeks before the conference. If you have already indicated your interest by checking the box on your registration form, it would be appreciated if you could confirm directly with Akane Mori as well.
Thank you for your support of this program. - Guidelines for Participants
