“Attending the emma conference is a must if you want to learn about the latest academic and professional trends in media management. Obtaining the early career researcher grant has allowed me to participate in my first congress in this field, and the truth is that I couldn’t have enjoyed it more. In-depth discussions, the chance to talk one on one with some of the most reputable voices in the sector… And most importantly: friendliness and closeness marked the whole experience. I can’t wait to see what next year has in store for us!”
