We will discuss finding conferences that are a good fit for you and finding funding for travel and registration costs. We will also discuss how to prepare to present at a conference and how to make the most of your experience at a conference during the time that you aren’t presenting. Whether you are hoping to attend and present at a specific conference in the near future or are simply wondering if attending a conference without presenting anything would be of interest to you, you are welcome to come. We hope to answer any questions you have.

Our Mission
Our Mission
As young mathematicians ourselves, we think a lot about the career-building opportunities we missed out on because we weren’t “in the know.” This is often because we didn’t come from families with ties to academia, didn’t attend the schools that those opportunities are promoted at, don't fit the mold of a "typical" mathematician in the eyes of those who should be looking out for us, or just slipped through the cracks of the educational pipeline in another way. Our goal is to share those resources with other undergrads so that more of us will know about and have access to the kind of career-building opportunities that were valuable to us or that we wish we’d known about sooner.
