Organising a conference is often seen as a rite of passage for budding academics, and just an everyday part of the job for research professionals. However, most people are never offered any support or training to do it well. That can result in lacklustre events, perpetuating bad practice, lost confidence and cries of ‘never again’!
Whether you’ve got an event looming or you just want to be prepared for the inevitable, this course will help you to plan your first academic event, conference, seminar or webinar with confidence.
