S02E09: Conferencing

How do you get the most out of a conference? Jenny shares her survival log from a recent conference, Christina talks about her experiences of organising this type of event, and Kloe asks us tonnes of questions. We also unpack and discuss cleaning sponges and erasers from Preservation Equipment Ltd (PEL), and our conservation agony aunt muses about which skills are most useful to conservators. 00:00:30 News in brief 00:09:44 What makes a good conference? 00:21:31 Survival log #1 00:24:22 The virtues of buddying up and how to survive 00:28:15 Are conferences more expensive now? 00:31:12 Survival log #2 00:34:09 Networking can be OK! 00:36:43 Top conference tips 00:38:16 Survival log #3 00:45:10 Continued top conference tips 00:48:23 What should you bring to a conference? 00:49:21 How do you organise a conference? 00:53:39 Pet peeves 00:56:10 Dear Jane 00:58:26 Review: Kloe and Jenny unpack erasers and sponges from PEL! 01:21:20 Comments, questions, corrections: food x2!
