@shriramk@mastodon.social I was invited to give a keynote at NDSS. I gave the first talk of the day. After that, I had a huddle around me, in the hallway, for the entire rest of the day. Lots of junior faculty asking for career advice. While exhausting, it's intensely rewarding to pay it forward.
I like your calendar idea. See if you can get other folks to do the same, and make it a bigger effort, get the conference organizers to announce it, etc.

@dwallach@discuss.systems I'm going to try it first and see how it works out. I feel like we should be rethinking the entire structure of conferences, but I've had no luck getting people to talk about it yet. But it's much easier to do once there's a concrete example.

@dwallach@discuss.systems This is absolutely my favorite part about keynotes, and why I'm happy there's a 30-minute break after them. Usually not enough time!
