Why attend?
Are you attending your first EAIE Conference and Exhibition in Gothenburg? Join us for a friendly and informative webinar designed especially for young professionals and first-time participants. We know the first few days can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems like everyone already knows each other. This short session will help you feel more confident, connected and ready to make the most of your experience.
You’ll hear from Ellen Wang of Leeds University Business School, who will share what she wishes she had known before attending her first EAIE Conference. She’ll offer practical tips and personal insights to help you navigate the event with ease. After the presentation, there will be time for Q&A, followed by an optional breakout activity, providing a relaxed way to meet fellow newcomers and start building your network before you even arrive in Gothenburg.
Who is it for?
This free webinar is perfect for anyone attending their first EAIE Conference, considering attending, or looking for tips, advice, and a friendly introduction to the EAIE community.
