This February I attended the Nebraska Conference for Undergraduate Women in Math. I'm a sophomore and I wanted some information on careers and on undergraduate research. The conference was very informative and definitely worth the effort of flying out to Nebraska.
I managed to go out to dinner with five graduate students from five different graduate schools. I listened to their stories about life in graduate school and their advice concerning applying to and choosing a graduate school. Should I choose to go to graduate school, I am much more prepared for the process from talking to these experienced students.

I was also able to talk to undergraduate women who had participated in programs and REUs that I am applying to this summer. They told me what they liked and disliked about the programs. Later, when I was accepted to two summer programs and had to choose between them, I emailed these girls for advice.
After one weekend at the Nebraska conference, I have developed a network of female mathematicians who I feel comfortable contacting for advice. It is definitely a program that I would suggest to any undergraduate woman interested in math.
