Famous conferences

When we are considering applying to participate in international conferences, we have to take several things into account.

Attending conferences offers far more opportunity to present your own research and also provides chances to establish friendships and find possible research partners for the future!

The more well renowned and larger scale conferences are not always beneficial for attendees because at such conferences, time to meet, interact and socialize with other attendees is rather limited. At conferences, such as the AoM main conference, with over 10,000 in attendance, we find that many friendship groups and networks are already established and socializing and joining said groups is very difficult.

Choosing relatively small conferences, such as EGOS and AAoM, is more suited to finding partners.
