Heading to the IGAC conference for the first time, or attending solo?

We get it! Large conferences can be overwhelming, especially when you’re new or traveling alone. That’s why the IGAC-iCACGP ECR SSC is excited to launch our brand new Buddy Program to connect you with fellow Early Career Researchers (ECRs)!

What is the ECR Buddy Program?

This program pairs you with another ECR attending the conference. Your buddy can be a source of support, help you navigate the event, and introduce you to others. It’s a great way to:

• Build connections: Meet new colleagues and expand your research network.
• Find support: Have someone to answer your questions and share the experience with.
• Make the most of IGAC: Discover hidden gems, attend interesting sessions together, and have a more enjoyable conference experience.
