3 Conferences Every College Student Must Attend



College life is a colossal beginning in the life of a student who for the first time steps out of the cocoon of school life and school friends into the real, fast moving world. It is a time when for the first time, the chains of rules and restrictions are relaxed and the students are asked to work on their overall personality growth instead of confining themselves to just academics.

Amidst the humongous competition where everyone is running to compete, to win, to succeed, and to excel, this big change may sometimes become overwhelming for students. They become prone to peer pressure which gets too enormous that it baffles them completely and unnerve their spirits for their future. They start stressing out imagining the worst possible outcomes for themselves and lose their self-confidence.

In the hullabaloo of this so-called pressure to not sit idle and keep on doing something, students, unmindful of their passion and interests start picking anything from any opportunity they stumble across. This makes their life chaotic and their schedule hectic which instead of giving them a direction, perplexes them even further. Thus, before getting into everything, it becomes very important to explore opportunities before selecting that one definite path in life.

Hence, the first thing students must focus upon in their college life is building connections. When we interact and have good conversations with multitudes of people, we tend to learn from each other’s experiences. In this way, we not only boost our self-confidence but also widen our career horizons by finding resources in lifelong bonds.

Attending good youth conferences is a prime doorway to build connections. This is because, conferences are platforms which bring together strangers in a formal setting and build an atmosphere to make connections. These conferences help in grooming your personality and take you a step closer to discover your ideal career option.

Here are top 3 conferences which every student must attend in their college life:-

1. Youth Leadership Conference, by Eat My News - It is an assembly of student leaders from all around the world who come together with a motto to make the world more Inspired, Informed and Intelligent.

It is a two-day residential conference that takes place in the National Capital Region of Delhi, India. This conference makes you stay for two complete days and nights with strangers from different walks of life and from different parts of the world. The challenge then becomes to frame an identity amidst complete strangers. However, by building an aura of positivity and infusing energy through interesting activities, you come out making lifelong bonds and connections.

This conference focuses upon overall personality growth, soft-skills development and general knowledge awareness of its applicants. It provides extensive training by conducting series of sessions by experienced certified experts.

In your college life, myriads of opportunities knock upon your door. However, it becomes your responsibility to have a clear vision and hit the bullseye by choosing the best path for yourself. Remember, the more you engage in healthy interactions, the more you boost your self-confidence. You will automatically begin to explore new options which may eventually lead to you discovering your passion of work.
