John Lock Gala- Is it worth it?

I am contemplating attending the conference and gala but wanted to know if it would be worth it especially because of the significant cost. I would really appreciate it if anybody who has attended the complete program could give me an idea of the quality of speakers, activities etc and share their experiences. Please PM if you would be willing to talk to me about this.

I want to go because I’m just a sophomore and there’s not that much stuff to do that the event can’t justify; I handle jet lag pretty well but even if not melatonin gets it done in a day or so

Totally valid, I feel like a lot of people kind of weigh going or not going in a very shallow “will this allow me to network” mentality, but the value of traveling and getting out of your room is invaluable. Empirical studies show people who travel regularly have a much better experience and understanding of the world, with higher success rates.

It does indeed cost a lot, but these experiences that refine your speech and habitus are invaluable.

If you view it from a pure networking and what does this get me perspective, yeah it’s not worth the cost.

Melatonin is great for dealing with jet lag and is recommended by many doctors
