AAS Pre-Conference Workshop

Starting in January 2023, TNI director Jessica Schonhut-Stasik and co-organizer Mike Lund, began running a new AAS Pre-Conference Workshop: How to Conference Successfully."

About the Workshop

The AAS Pre-Conference Workshop: How to Conference Successfully, is not designed purely for neurodivergent individuals, but particularly covers the areas of large conferences (such as AAS) that may be challenging for neurodivergent individuals.

​

At our student workshops we cover: 

  • Using Social Media effectively at conferences

  • How to read and organize schedules

  • How to self-care

  • Talking about your work

  • ... and more!
