A review of the literature provides background and support for Part 1, which discusses the benefits of attending non-librarian conferences, organized into the categories of broadening horizons and advocacy. In Part 2 we give advice for preparation for attending and overcoming challenges. We present Part 2 organized into the following themes: 1) Acquiring time, money, and support, 2) Defending against imposter syndrome, 3) Conference culture differences, and 4) Diversity, inclusion, and allyship.
