Conference Travel and Management Hub for Academics (Notion template)

Hello, fellow academic! Are you missing out on the full potential of academic conferences?

Conferences are inspiring events: You learn new things, meet new and interesting people, and have tons of research ideas.

But then?

You return home and find your notes scattered across different places and your brilliant ideas forgotten. You lost the contact information of the new people you met. And reimbursement becomes a dreadful process because you need to sort through endless files and emails to find the corresponding documents.

Does that sound familiar? It does to me, and I have been to many conferences.

You can continue doing this and miss out on the full potential of academic conferences. Or you can elevate your conference experience and maximize every opportunity with this template. Organize your conference travel, notes, ideas, contacts, expenses, and much more, all in one place!

The Conference Travel and Management Hub for Academics is the system I wish I had when I first started attending academic conferences in 2009. Since then, I have been to many conferences, and I built this template with all my experiences and observations in mind.

The template contains:

• An interface for the conference and travel details, details for your presentation, etc.: Quickly access and organize all critical information, saving time and reducing stress.
• To-Do list and packing list: Never miss a deadline or forget an important task or item.
• Conference schedule: Quickly access the schedule and create a personalized one, maximizing your time at the conference and ensuring you don't miss any important sessions or opportunities.
• Networking: Plan your networking activities and store new contacts in a centralized contacts database to build valuable connections and collaborations.
• Notes and Ideas database: Quickly jot down important information and ideas to access them later, ensuring you capture all valuable insights.
• Expense tracker: Track your expenses and store relevant documents for seamless reimbursement, making the process easier and faster.
• Resources section: Store all resources (map of the location, places to visit, abstract book, etc.) in one place for instant access, helping you stay organized and quickly find what you need during the conference.
• Pictures collection: Collect your best pictures from the conference to maintain some beautiful event memories and share them with colleagues and peers!
• Conference wishlist: Is there any conference you would like to attend someday? Store conferences you want to attend in the future to plan and prioritize your conference attendance.
