1. To network

Conferences are a fantastic method to meet new people in your field because they bring together people from all various geographical locations who are interested in the same topic or field. You can meet people from a variety of backgrounds at conferences that you might not have the opportunity to do at your regular career or educational setting. Conferences can be an excellent opportunity to reconnect with colleagues you haven't seen in a while as your professional network grows.

2. To expand your knowledge and find solutions to problems

You'll learn a lot of new information about topics in your area. These could include learning from thought leaders you may not have previously heard of, as well as brand-new methods, tools, and data.

3. To present your ideas and work to others

4. For people to meet you

The fact that conferences are a fantastic way to meet people may not seem noteworthy.

5. Learn beyond your field or interest

This is a double benefit of attending conferences because they frequently have sessions for professional development and career guidance in addition to opportunities to learn about research in related fields. There's a good chance that when you attend a conference, the attendees will all have diverse subfields of study, and many of the projects will be multidisciplinary.
