Lotte Pitcher reflects on her experiences at various conferences, emphasizing the impact of attending alone and offering suggestions for both solo attendees and conference organizers to improve the experience. She advocates for initiatives such as "green light" stickers for willingness to converse, designated conversation spaces, sociable activities, and the importance of making introductions and leaving space for others to join conversations. Lotte encourages solo attendees to initiate conversations, do research, and be open to changing plans, while also highlighting the role of friends or colleagues in helping solo attendees connect with others.
