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)

• General Recommendations for presenters, session chairs, chairs of interest groups, and others
• SMT Accessibility Guidelines
• SMT Sustainability Guidelines
• SMT Language Guidelines
