Reflecting on last year's conference:
In 2021, the SFAR conference brought together 360 students from across the world for a 17-hour experience, with 16 sessions, 22 speakers, and over £1,000 worth of prizes.
100% of attendees said they would recommend a friend or colleague to attend a future conference.
Feedback from an attendee: "What an amazing inspiring and useful event this has been. Extremely good and diverse advice shared. It helped me gain a new perspective and open horizons. A great choice of speakers, with different ecological/career backgrounds was eye opening."
