Hi everyone! I'm an IMG presenting a poster at CAP26 and also planning to use the conference for networking and to learn more about the field as a pathology applicant.

Since I am not a CAP member, I'm deciding between the Networking & Exhibit Hall Pass and going All Access.

A few questions:

1. Networking & Exhibit Hall Pass vs All Access how big is the difference in practice for someone whose main goals are networking with programs and attending some educational content? Is most of the meaningful interaction with residency directors happening in the exhibit hall, or at sessions/events that require full access?
2. As an IMG with a poster, am I already in a good position to connect with people organically, or is it worth investing in All Access?

Thanks so much, really appreciate any insight!
