This article focuses on the authors' participation in the 24^th Biannual IIC Congress as an extracurricular professional and educational experience. It describes the background, preparations and nomination process for attending this scholarly forum, to further examine the experience and impressions regarding the congress, both as participants and as winners of the 2012 Student Poster Prize. A self-assessment exercise and critique on academic topics are conducted: the education received in Mexico, the participation of Mexican students in international forums, the perspective on the development of the discipline in the country, the importance of going deeper into the decision-making process and the relevance of scholarly projects as potential subjects to be presented in academic international platforms.
