Reviewing the conference themes and identifying areas of personal and professional interest will be key. Developing a clear understanding of one's own research or policy positions in relation to the broader international studies landscape can facilitate more impactful contributions to discussions. Effective participation also involves strategic networking. Utilizing lessons such as "what-is-stakeholder-mapping" and "engagement-strategies" can be beneficial for identifying key individuals and initiating productive conversations. Understanding "hidden-stakeholders" in specific international issues can also inform more nuanced discussions and networking approaches. Furthermore, applying principles from "dynamic-analysis" can help in critically assessing the various perspectives and arguments presented, allowing for a more informed and robust engagement with the conference content. ## Country perspectives Where the most-relevant 1 countries stand on the core issues in play.
