But I prefer SIS. Less flashy.

There are far fewer attendees at the winter meeting. It’s the sis board meeting, so you’ll meet some big wigs in the organization, but most of them aren’t hiring anyone. Good conference usually, but not great for networking.

What is AVN?

Society with a significant focus on pelvic pain.

Do you mean the KOLs?

id be interested in seeing the pointy shoes these "KOLs" are wearing. and the "rest" of their outfit.

Going to AVN probably increases your risk factor for AVN

ASPN is your ticket to ride. Bring CV, headshots, and a winning attitude and you'll never leave disappointed. Skip the lectures and just hang out in the hall. That's where the real action is.

Don’t forget your pointy shoes.

Sorry to be the Debbie Downer, but in my experience, conferences are not usually helpful for business contacts or for finding jobs. Also, nobody I know really cares about posters. They are mostly just used to pad the resume.

In my experience, most people go to conferences for CMEs, to connect with industry, and to talk to old friends.

Add ASPN to that list.

You’re best bet for job connections is to attend your local state pain society meeting and network there.

Honestly, the *BEST* conference to shop yourself around is Painweek. Trust me.
