Conferences in all scienes giveme more knowege and more trust in my self , it is not only for my expereince in science also it give me more friends and culture , what is about you ?
I primarily focus on social networking during conferences. Secondly, they provide good ideas for open problems, which are worthwhile to be scientifically solved. For transfer of basic knowledge, conference are not suitable in my humble opinion.
Academic conferences should reset their format. I suggest the Art of Hosting Conversation that Matter as a new operating system to design and organize meaningful Academic Conferences that inspire people to put their knowledge in service of the world's challenges.
