I recently had a great time attending my first conference, Euro-Par 2024, as a computer science PhD student. I presented my paper How to Relax Instantly: Elastic Relaxation of Concurrent Data Structures in front of around 200 people, managed to win Best Paper, and got to know some great people. I could not have hoped for a better first conference. In this post, I'll share my experience, offer tips for future conference attendees, and reflect on what I wish I'd known beforehand.
