What is your goal for this year's Conference?

My goal for this year's conference is to enhance exhibitor diversity by including organizations from underrepresented health fields, such as mental health, public health, and dentistry/optometry.  I want to prioritize recruiting exhibitors that reflect a range of career pathways to inspire attendees with unique opportunities beyond traditional healthcare roles. By diversifying our exhibitor lineup, students will gain exposure to a broader spectrum of professions that align with their interests and passions. Additionally, I plan to improve communication and logistics to ensure exhibitors feel supported throughout the event, enhancing their overall experience. This will create a more dynamic and inclusive conference that benefits both exhibitors and attendees.

What advice do you have for attendees?

My advice for attendees is to take full advantage of the networking opportunities and not be afraid to approach exhibitors, speakers, and professionals. Ask questions, learn about their career paths, and make connections that could benefit you in the future. Also, attend a variety of workshops to explore different health fields and gain new skills, even if it’s something outside your primary interest area. Lastly, bring a mini notepad or digital device to jot down ideas and resources you can refer to later.
