Should I Attend a National Poster Conference?

[CyberShot]

I have a poster conference coming up in two weeks and I am still deciding if i should go or not.

First of all, i haven't really begun the poster because I've been traveling in the east coast a lot helping my family move. Secondly, the conference would mean that I would miss out on a whole week of class!

how much of a grad school booster is this national poster conference? and will i be missing out if i don't attend?

thanks.

I wouldn't do it for the CV, but I would for the experience. It's fun to go along, see some talks, and have a chat with other people that are interested in the same things as you. If you aren't that bothered for the experience, then I would just leave it.
