Professional Meetings, Conferences, and Seminars
While making your plans for U.S. study, correspond with professional associations in your areas of interest to determine dates and locations of meetings, seminars, conferences, and other short-term professional development programs in your field. Such events can be costly, but the benefits in terms of keeping current in your field and of having opportunities to make contacts with your peers usually justify the expense. If you have a grant or fellowship, ask if there is a provision for attending conferences or for other professional development activities.
