On July 25th, the 2021 Annual National AYLUS conference was held virtually via Zoom. A total of 12 members from the East Cobb Branch attended along with the hundreds of members around the country. This conference was around seven hours long, and it consisted of multiple panels all involving professionals and undergraduates talking about their careers and the paths they took to get there. The panels included were finance/business, med/healthcare, law, stem, personal branding and networking workshop, scientific research, community service, and college applications. Through these panels, the panelists were able to talk about their expertise in their fields and answer questions from the hundreds of AYLUS members that attended. Overall, the conference offered lots of meaningful information and insights for the future of AYLUS members and gave them a new sense of inspiration.
This conference was informative on so many different levels. The wide variety of speakers allowed me to gleam into each individual industry and see the differences. In addition, each speaker would document their own pitfalls and hardships which made it able to understand what it’s like to work in the field. The national conference gave me insight and inspiration into the future.
