About the Event
Whether you are a first-time attendee, an early-career researcher, or an experienced delegate looking to re-engage, navigating a major conference such as Work, Employment and Society (WES) 2026 can be both exciting and overwhelming.
This interactive online session is designed to help participants make the most of their conference experience. Chaired by Dr Alvaro Martinez-Perez, Dr Aditya Ray, Dr Mayra Ruiz-Castro, and Dr Mariachiara Barzotto, the session will offer practical guidance, logistical advice, and insider insights on how to navigate the programme, present your research effectively, build professional networks, and chair inclusive conference sessions.
Drawing on successful models from sister societies, the panel will share first-hand experiences and respond to participants’ questions on a range of topics, from managing a busy conference schedule to engaging with social events and making meaningful professional connections.
Join us to demystify the conference experience, connect with fellow attendees before arriving in Bath, and ensure that you leave WES 2026 with new ideas, skills, contacts, and potential collaborations.
