Seems like an appropriate thread to rant about this: At a recent conference, the organizers (no less) reserved places at Conference Dinner to ensure the select few were seated together! Hilariously, the supposed aim of the event was to listen to new thinkers in the field. Shocker: this won’t help.

Bluesky seems a nice enough place to say this. If you go to your industry/academic conference and spend all your time catching up with professional friends - you are part of the reason newcomers call the conference “cliquey and unwelcoming”. If you’re established, talk to newcomers. It’s that easy.
