I am getting LinkedIn messages inviting me to various conferences (which I never heard of). The speakers are from top pharma or at least some of them are. I never respond because people who reach out usually have sus profiles or even if they are legit the conferences are too far from my home. I wanted to check if this is valid and I am losing a big networking opportunity or they just need someone to fill in the seats?

Same. Sometimes I ask if they are paying for travel and lodging typically it’s “no” or as I suspect and they will back off. If it’s someone you’re interested in, ask them to comp the registration so that you have access to the video later.

Thank you!

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job
