A Newcomer's Guide to EGU26
If you’re a seasoned EGU attendee, feel free to skip this one. 😊
Tomorrow marks the start of EGU26! EGU can be an overwhelming experience, especially if it’s your first time. I wanted to share some resources that might help make the whole thing a bit more pleasant and enjoyable.
Planning your schedule
The EGU communication team has published a few helpful blog posts on how to use the personal programme to plan your days:
- First-time attendee, we’ve got you covered
- Making a plan: using your EGU26 personal programme
- How to make the most out of your experience at EGU26 (part 2)
The EGU app
There’s a dedicated app that’s genuinely useful — though a small heads-up: during peak hours in past years it has been known to stop working. 😅
Sessions for first-time attendees
Every year on Monday there are dedicated sessions for newcomers (frequent attendees are welcome too):
- First-time attendees networking
- How to navigate EGU as a neurodivergent attendee
- How to navigate EGU
Childcare
If you’re attending with little ones, EGU offers excellent free childcare services.
