 we tend to focus on the narrow area that we work on and going to a conference allows you to interact with people in different fields. And in so many cases, there are overlaps that you wouldn't have thought of by yourself or just working with the people in your lab or in your company. And when you talk to other people, you think, well, gosh, we do something similar, but we use a different technology. And this is what leads to invention really is the synthesis of ideas coming from different fields. Networking comes almost naturally at SBIE because it is, in my mind, very open society trying to help people to make contacts. And the other thing that I would like to add is that becoming involved in SBIE is something that can be very, very beneficial. A number of committees that SBIE has that you might be interested in, membership committee, conference committees, symposia committee, publication committee. There are many, many of those. I have three pieces of advice for you to get the most out of your conference experience. Persist to do your homework. So the conference program will be up in advance. Search for topics like yours. Note the time of the talk and who's on the author list. Find out who's going from your own institution and anybody else you know. It's really a good idea to exchange contact information, especially if you're going to a conference where you don't know a whole lot of people. For my own trainees, I really like it when I know that they have contact information of a couple of other people who can be support or maybe just somebody to go to the get together meeting with. Plan your days and plan your attack. So how do you meet people? Really the easiest way to meet people is to ask them questions about their work. We all love to talk about what we're doing. Be sure to attend smaller gatherings like lunches or specialty meetups like the black and photonics or LGBT plus. Everybody is welcome at those things. Finally, pace yourself. Overall, I think it's been fantastic for me and I hope that you find a way of really learning a lot from your conference experience. I want to stop through the tangible advantages of why I attend conferences and I seek out opportunities to do so. The first and foremost is finding the professional opportunities by broadening your network. And in my case, with a very niche technology, this is really the forum that we can bring forward problems that the industry is facing and set the course of direction. You meet a lot of people but there will always be some authentic connections that grow organically. So I really encourage everyone to find their platform, find your conference and it's a chance to give back, encourage new members. And so to me, I feel like this full circle moment having been a student and now being a part of industrial research and joining through program committees, committee activities. Thank you.
