Every big idea starts somewhere. No matter how trivial your research may seem, it has the potential to have a significant impact on your field. For this, a wider audience is pivotal. You will also reap personal benefits from the interaction you will have with other students and academics. Many will come with a novel approach that will help inform further work, while talking to those who are new to your topic will develop your skills in articulating ideas. By reaching a wider audience you could add valuable material to your CV whilst expanding your current network of potential employers, colleagues and staff from other institutions.
