Tips for Setting Up Get-togethers

  • Restaurants are a nice place to meet, but keep some things in mind:
    • People might appreciate being able to walk to one (so close to the conference).
    • Consider diets, particularly vegetarians/vegans.
    • Choose a time that the conference does not have other events.
    •  If you need separate checks (some people do for reimbursement), tell the staff up front.
  • Gathering at the conference also generally works. Often there are rooms available.
    • Consider setting up a mixer when you get to the conference, so you can see what’s available.
    • Consider meeting after lunch, when people might have free time

You can then contact each other to arrange where, when, and how you want to get together. (If you want to suggest further ideas, please send them to communications@gradconsortium.org.) 

Also, please spread the word about the CGC at these conferences!

Some in the graduate communication support field still don’t know about us. Go here to see easy-access materials to share. Thank you in advance!
