Abstract: Attendance at conferences as part of undergraduate studies is key in health professional education for exploring speciality interests, sharing research, exchanging expertise and passing on knowledge. In addition, conferences offer valuable opportunities to present work and the potential to win prizes and network with others in the field. This article provides insight and guidance into how student‐led and designed health science and education conferences can be implemented more effectively. It is aimed at students hoping to organise conferences and also to clinical educators and staff who help facilitate these. We present recommendations, a framework of steps to be followed and a case study, as well as an exploration of the challenges that COVID‐19 has presented and how these have been overcome.
