[Replay] The AMedSG National Reputation Series: The Insider's Guide to National Meetings

National meetings are one of the fastest ways to build a national reputation — but only if you approach them with a strategy. Showing up is not enough.

In this episode, Dr. Stacey Ishman walks through how to use academic conferences as a career-building tool, not just a CE credit opportunity. She shares how she navigated early career introversion to build meaningful relationships with thought leaders, program committee members, and future collaborators.

Topics covered:

–  How to identify and connect with program committee members before you're ready to ask for anything

–  Why Q&A sessions are a legitimate visibility strategy

–  The case for attending social events even when it's uncomfortable

–  Abstract and panel deadlines: building a calendar that keeps you on track

–  Moderating as an entry point to the program

–  How to approach a conference as a system, not a series of sessions

This is Episode 2 of 6 in The AMedSG National Reputation Series.
