Join us for day two of the 2023 GRADventure Professional Skills Conference

This annual conference is designed to help better prepare graduate students and postdocs for professional roles both within and outside of academia. UWaterloo staff and external speakers will host workshops and presentations on relevant topics from their areas of expertise. They will emphasize skills to help you succeed during your time at Waterloo, and in your future career. 

This year's conference will take place over two days, on April 11 and April 12, 2023. Day two consists of in-person workshops on the topics of project planning as a team, creating an engaging pitch, and strategies for giving and receiving feedback in a professional setting. There will also be a networking lunch, where food will be provided and attendees will have an opportunity to connect with other graduate students and postdocs. Register for the in-person sessions and networking lunch to attend day two of the conference. By registering, you will be expected to attend the entirety of the in-person conference from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on April 12.
