I'm new to the job so I haven't organized a conference before. Curious to see if others here already have so I can ask for pointers!

My company hasn't been sending us to conferences since the pandemic. I wish they would. I love to travel, learn, and explore new places.

A year prior, we begin working on the overall theme and big-picture vision for the event. We try to secure a venue around then & begin loosely planning the itinerary. A year goes by quickly when you're planning a major event!

I haven't done one yet but my boss is saying that they want us to go to one this year so I'm actually excited about but yet nervous to be in a room with so many people that know so much

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for. I applied and have made it to the final round of interviews that’s this week. In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
