The goal of CSE Connect is to support networking and connectivity among CSE members while learning something new about a topic of interest. CSE Connect events are free for members and $15 for non-members.
Events are held most months, and most events are informal in nature and a friendly spot for networking with your colleagues in scholarly and scientific editing. We hope you’ll join us for future CSE Connect events!
CSE Connect | How to Make the Most Out of Your Professional Conference
Professional conferences are a great opportunity to network and brush up on new topics and skills. They can also be a little overwhelming and intimidating. Join the conversation as we share tips and tricks to help you prepare with confidence for your upcoming conference, whether that be in the editorial space or in your individual society. Heather DiAngelis, co-chair of the 2025 CSE Program Committee, will also be available to answer any questions regarding the upcoming CSE Annual Meeting.
Speaker: Heather DiAngelis and more!
