First Conference As Student— Any Advice?

Hi!
I am a highschool student and am going to a derivatives conference in a couple days due to my work on derivatives research. Am not going into specifics as to not doxx myself.

This is my first conference, and I want to put my best foot forward. I would appreciate any/all advice people have- especially about the "little stuff" people notice. Thanks a lot!

Fugiat veritatis impedit voluptates a. Similique nisi nam omnis est adipisci et. Nobis asperiores voluptate numquam molestias quo quia inventore. Qui quo culpa dicta. Tempore aut cupiditate quo dolorem temporibus eveniet.

Eum error est enim temporibus soluta dolore et. Quod iure libero magni assumenda possimus velit sed. Aut accusantium quasi sed sed ab.

Mollitia dolores corrupti aut sed aut illum et perferendis. Error explicabo officiis vero. Velit aut rerum quia consectetur.

Iure harum et aliquam cumque aut in. Exercitationem quasi dolorem nisi consequuntur. Blanditiis fugiat voluptate incidunt corrupti. Quae perspiciatis fugiat ratione molestiae ipsa et culpa.
