Enhancing Conference Participation to Bridge the Diversity Gap

We present the results of a survey sent to 164 research staff at STScI to determine what reasons motivate their attendance at conferences and what aspects prevent researchers from attending them. If adopted, the proposed recommendations will increase diversity in astronomy through the broadening of conference participation.
