What do people do with Certificates of Attendance for conferences? I was expecting a few people might want one for weird internal bureaucracy things, but seemingly half of this conference has asked for one. Why?

The benefits of having external supervisors: Excited about being able to present at the #ASEEES23 conference (or convention, as they call it) in December! This pan-Slavic conference accepted my presentation in a panel on Linguistic Analysis of Slavic Media Discourse.

Places #scholarly and other organizations should not be hosting #conferences: Texas, Florida, North Carolina....where else?

On top of continuing #Covid deaths and disabilities, the politics of these states should be convincing orgs to have virtual/online conferences.

Some recent conference experiences have made me think more and differently about #AcademicConferences.

I've started to blog a trilogy of posts here:

#WhisperCollective podcast I did with the creators of Conference Inference, Jamie Burford and Emily Henderson - couldn't ask for more intellectually generous and warm colleagues. :blobcatheart:

Conferences / symposia - what are your pet peeves -- and what often goes wrong? I'm planning one but I haven't been to one for 3 years (for fairly obvious reasons) ... what are some issues that might be easily overlooked? (This one is mostly in person not hybrid, with a few zoom-only sessions.)

@philip_cardella @tkinias I'm jealous, Phillip, as I may want to present at that Purdue conference some day but have never been. I believe @rachelshelden often presents there?

I visit conferences sometimes and presented at the AHA in Atlanta but tbh conferences that aren't in California have negligible cost-benefits for me as I'm #ContingentFaculty and don't get funding (sadly). #Academia #AcademicConferences
