The Event

This WFRN Virtual Conference Series professional development session focused on making the most out of conferences, offering general advice for attending conferences and networking (and offering tips for the upcoming WFRN conference in June). Expert panelists shared their initial thoughts on this topic, and then engaged in a moderated panel discussion. Following the panel discussion, the conversation opened questions and comments from event participants. This event was free and open to the public.
