You can learn how to communicate more effectively with people outside of your bubble. Attending a conference full of people with a different background from you will be excellent practice for your communication skills.
You can broaden your knowledge. There’s no better way to push yourself and gain new perspectives than to throw yourself into a new field. You’ll learn a huge amount about a field by attending a conference – not only about the concepts within a field, but also about how these concepts are put into practice in research.
Make contacts with people outside of your field. We’ve talked before about how valuable conferences are for networking, and so they’re a great way to get to know more researchers who work on different topics.

Get inspired by new ideas. Hearing about totally different approaches to problems than the ones you usually discuss is a fantastic source of inspiration.
