I don’t know who needs to hear this, but when you’re at #chi2022 and someone looks you up and down, lingering at your name tag only to then not even bother saying ‘hello’ to you because you’re a student and/or at a non-prestigious university: those people are not worth your time! Especially if you’re early career, my advice for #chi2022 would be to spend more time making friends with people in a similar point in their career to yourself (yes, making friends, not networking!) than trying to get noticed by senior ‘superstar’ folks
