Smart Tips for Making the Most of Your Investment at Conferences
Be present:
- Set an out-of-office message letting others know you are away.
- Plan to find support or coverage while you are away so you can be fully present at the event.
- Put down your cell phone as well during event sessions or networking.
Step out of your comfort zone: Walking up and introducing yourself to new people is sometimes uncomfortable. Still, conferences are a great environment for doing this. As much as there’s an opportunity to learn new things, it’s also an opportunity to make new connections.
Research sessions: Typically, an agenda will be posted online in the week leading up to the event. Do your research to see which sessions are most applicable and interesting to your role or career goals.
Connect with speakers after the event: Conferences are a great way to meet industry experts in your field. Be bold and ask questions after a session, or follow them on social media afterward to stay connected.
Make time for yourself: Conferences can sometimes be overwhelming and exhausting with a jam-packed schedule and non-stop social opportunities. Get sleep, eat well and make some time for yourself if needed. Packing comfy clothes, sleep masks, and podcasts to listen to during travel helps.
No matter what conferences are on the horizon for you this year or next, these tips will help ensure you get the most out of your time at the event.
