We’ve found that attendees get much more value from the conference if they prepare in advance. Here are some concrete steps you can take to prepare for the conference itself: Make a list of your priorities — what you’d like to get out of the conference Make a plan of action based on those priorities Follow the instructions in the emails you’re getting and make yourself a profile on Swapcard (our event app). Look through other people’s profiles and connect with those you’d like to meet with or who share your interests Look through sessions on the agenda and register for the ones you’d like to attend (and bookmark the ones you’re interested in but which you’re less sure about) Be realistic – plan in adequate time to rest, refuel and to have spontaneous conversations.
