As we know that culture and conduct vary in different parts of the world; so if you are intended to heading to conferences at the top world destinations as London, Oxford, Cambridge (UK), Boston (U.S.A), there are certain point you should keep in mind so making your experience worthwhile through plentiful interaction and successful networking. Here are some ways to meet people at a conference in UK & USA.

Bang Bang !  Do not think so, you will come across just Britishers or Americans; NO, NOT At ALL… it’s an international research conference so there are researchers all around the globe; Yes! including ‘UK & USA’. Our tips must be particularly useful for those who are shy or who are just going to attend an international research conference …

You might be wondering why do focus more on UK & USA? True, you are thinking absolutely correct; the answer of this why is the ratio of international researchers intended to attend conferences in the UK and USA is much higher as compare to other destinations. Hence, gear up to meet researchers from all most all the parts of the world; coming across tens of cultures under one roof, and believe you me it is damn interesting!!

There are few significant tips for you:

• If someone gave a talk, then introduce yourself and ask a thoughtful question about their travel and experience at UK or USA; also share your experience or plans to visit places after the conference.
• Often just listening can help you learn. Do share what attracts you to this vary conference; discuss about your prior international research conference experiences.
• Discuss about the tourist destinations in UK or USA (the conference destination). Hold on! Did you research before travelling regarding the tourist attractions for UK and USA; specially if you are travelling to beautiful Oxford or Cambridge then don’t forget river punting and cycling tours; or if it is London then it must be the world history museums, Madam Tussaud, Thames fairy tour etc. Similarly, if you are in Boston then it must be New England Aquarium/Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Historic North End, USS Constitution/Charlestown Navy Yard, North Station/TD Bank north Garden, Downtown Crossing/Historic District etc.
  Thus, mates we have established a very concrete point to interact among your new international research fraternity. Remember, more knowledge you would be having about the tourist destinations, more people would like to interact with you

• It is not at all recommended to hang out just with other people from your own institution. It is your responsibility to talk with people from other institutions, from other countries with varied backgrounds and cultures.
• A good rule of thumb is not to join a group if that would make it half or close colleagues of yours. Another rule of thumb is that it’s fine to travel in pairs — have a buddy to help you meet others — but not to hunt in larger packs. It’s fine to check in with people from your group once in a while — to take a break from being social, to learn about someone you really ought to meet, etc. But use such time to recharge, not as your standard mode at the conference.
• You will also find natives. Something important to know is that natives in the UK love to talk about ‘weather’- their favorite foremost topic to interact. Therefore, browse about the weather updates in Oxford, Cambridge or London (UK)- wherever you are planning to attend the international research conference…..
  it might sound funny to you but it is the established truth and you will experience it once you start a chat, with a native researcher, about weather. Similarly, in USA, people are more friendly and like small talks with novices. Addressing someone by the first name, of course they are strangers, serves a preamble of a ‘good chat’. American, no matter they are the part of an international research conference, love to hear small stories- life incidents, so share your small decent research related experiences.
• Talk with people at meals. Show up early to get breakfast and specially to schmooze. Going out for dinners is good, too. At lunch, meet everyone at your table, find out what they are doing, and tell them what you are doing. At conference lunches, I often sit at a random table with people I don’t know, which has led to valuable new contacts.
• You may find talking with other researchers less intimidating than talking with more senior people. Feel free to approach research students to learn what they are doing and to spread the word about your own research. This is an easy way to expand your circle of acquaintances and eventually meet the more well-known researchers.

Such international research conferences are the best places to seek future research projects, for instance working on a paper jointly, writing a chapter for a book might be published in UK and USA- definitely a boost to your research career.

Bogus and predatory conferences are becoming pretty common nowadays. Regrettably, there is no site that lists legitimate conferences. However, there are a few ways to recognize whether a conference is reputable or not.

1. Find out which are the established international research conferencesin your field. Your seniors, any professor in the department, or even a senior colleague should be able to help you create a short list of reputable conferences since they have been in the field for years. You may use their experience before making decision to which research conference in 2019 you would like to send your research.
2. If a conference is not on that list, it does not necessarily mean that it is not legitimate. There is a possibility that the international research conferenceis fairly new or it might be slightly outside your research area.
3. If you happen to come across such conferences, look up the people who are on the organizing committee. If they are well-known and active researchers in the field, the conference is probably reputable. However, there are some scam conferences who use the names of popular researchers without their knowledge, so it’s always a good idea to cross-check with your advisor.
4. Reputable conferences don’t send emails to individuals: conferences are generally advertised through call for papers. When you receive a Call for paper, do check out the conference website where the managing organization has been provided their past international research conferencesor their proceedings. Checkout the participants names and universities they represent. It would give you an idea if the international research conference is truly international or not. Moreover, the research topics of the participants would inform you somewhat about the depth and quality of research.
5. Another good way to identify a reputable international research conference is to look up the list the speakers in the past years. If they are established researchers in your field, the conference is probably reputable. However, the level of the conference may not be great if just one two of the speakers are well-known. If at least half of the speakers are known names in your field, the conference might be good to attend.
6. Genuine conference organizers place genuine, real life pictures of their past international research conferences. You might find videos and testimonials of the past participants with their linkedin profiles.
7. Diversity and inclusion is always enhances the beauty of international research conferences which leads to great learning and networking experience.
8. Authentic international research conferencesare not only recognized and partnered with well-known research bodies but also the editorial board is comprised on known researchers from varied geographical backgrounds.
9. Conference proceedings of authentic international research conferencesare usually published by international publishers with a unique ISBN for each conference proceedings.
10. It is also significant to observe the frequency of publications of papers presented in such international research conferences, in high quality journals. Affiliation of these international research conferenceswith renowned research journals, itself enhance their credibility.

Conference search is a science as well as an art; be careful when you decide to opt a conference to send your research.

Many scholars turn their attention to conferencing in summers and are working on their research nowadays. However, what does academic research conference attendance contribute to your career? Certainly in a job interview you are rarely required to discuss conferences attended, so perhaps they seem a superfluous activity. On the contrary, they can be very useful as:

Research active:

Although academic research conference attendance does not count for as much as publication or funding application, it does show that you are a research active member of staff. Speaking at the most prestigious academic research conferences in your field is a real achievement as many papers and panels are rejected every year. Not all academics attend conferences regularly, but many at the start of their career do, and while exposing your research to public scrutiny can be nerve-wracking, most conference attendees are usually friendly and good spirited, choosing to encourage new scholars rather than criticise their work.

Ideas and inspiration:

Presenting your research at academic research conferences is not a one way process. You can learn a great deal from fellow panel members (who may have a close interest in your topic) and from audience members. They might suggest new approaches that you hadn’t considered, provide references to other scholars’ work, or reinforce your ideas in an area that you were unsure about.

Lead to publication:

Academic research conferences are also excellent because giving a paper can sometimes lead to publication, either in a journal or a special edited collection. This will boost your publication profile on your CV.

Who did you meet?

As well as providing the opportunity to discuss the content of your own work, you might meet people at international academic research conferences who are useful to your career in other ways. For example, you might make contact with a publisher who’s interested in your new project. Or you might meet an academic whose department are about to advertise a job in your area of expertise and who remembers being impressed by you at an academic research conference.

You might meet scholars who are interested in pursuing a shared area of research with whom you can collaborate in the future. These connections will all be useful in developing your career profile, so make sure you go to the conference with an open mind.

Organising a conference yourself

After attending a number of conferences, you may realise that there is a particular topic of study that has not been covered or that would be enhanced by having a gathering of scholars to discuss it. If this is the case, why not organise your own event? This is difficult to achieve unless you are currently affiliated to a university, but you could help a colleague based at a university to organise the event.

Organising your own academic research conference, even a single day event, can be tremendously time consuming, but very rewarding as you see the culmination of your hard work. You also have an excellent networking opportunity to get your name known amongst other scholars in the field.
