I haven't attended the Annual Meeting yet, but highly intend to join online. It might be not as even as close to the experience in person. Although, if I make it through the webinars, it already would mean the world to me. I guess sometimes we have so much going on at our profissional, personal and multiple lives altogether that we must highlight our achievements, no matter if they went physically as far as pressing a button. There's always so much behind it. Nonetheless, I don't wanna let any pessimism seem to come out of my sentences. With that in mind, I'm sharing my first experience presenting at a congress because reading my dear colleagues posts really reminded me of it. I was still in High School (so, basically months before the pandemic started) and presenting my very first article at an international event. My mentor and professor said she would be at the event to watch my presentation, but time goes by and I was at her class next day. She turns to me and asks why were I at school if I should be at the congress. Then, by the time I grab my phone to show her the pictures I had taken, she founds out the presentation had been missed. Sincerely, it made the congress event more unforgettable than it already was. I know this story might be silly, or my post might not relate as much to Sam's question as it should. Although, if I could make someone remember a personal experience - a nice memory - by reading this, it means my words achieved a desired result.
