Be prepared to voice these suggestions at the conference. Consider the topics of debate or panel discussions. Prepare a list of questions or points that you would like to have clarified. Make clear and concise notes about the replies. You will be expected to report about these issues when you return home.
Conferences also provide an excellent opportunity to network.
This is your chance to meet the key people in your organization. Set a personal goal to meet these people. Remember to re-establish familiar contacts too. Review your convention itinerary. Once you have decided which activities you will be involved in, select appropriate clothing.
