Impressing Others at Academic Conferences (Without Losing Your Mind) | Ep. 17

PUBLISHING ACADEMIC RESEARCH | Writing, Mental Health, and Productivity Tips for Your Scholarship, Thesis, or Dissertation

Do you ever walk into an academic conference and feel a knot in your stomach because of the pressure to sound brilliant, network flawlessly, and not accidentally embarrass yourself in front of your field’s big names? You’re not alone.

Hey co-authors! In this episode, we’re unpacking how to make a strong, authentic impression at academic conferences without losing your mind. From your presentation style to hallway conversations, we’ll talk about how to replace performance anxiety with purpose and how to connect with others in ways that actually matter.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

• Prepare presentations that communicate clearly and confidently (including the 10/20/70 rule for balance).
• Navigate the social side with authenticity and grace.
• Make a lasting impression by being curious, kind, and collaborative and not just performative.

The goal isn’t to be the smartest person in the room, it’s to leave people thinking, “I’d love to talk to them again.” Tune in to learn how to show up as your authentic self, share your work with confidence, and walk away from your next conference feeling connected.
