I'll be leaving for the ABA Techshow today in Chicago. As always, I am looking forward to the conference, in large part because of the connections I make and the people I meet or reunite with. Some I see only once a year - at Techshow!
Matt Homann of the [non]billable hour has put together a fabulous post on what to do at a conference, entitled Ten Rules for Conference Attendees.
Among my favorites:
2. Never attend a conference without at least three questions you want answered. Never leave until they have been.
4. The most important people at the conference are sitting next to you. They are like you. They can help you. Ignore them at your peril.8. Don’t tell someone you’ll follow up unless you intend to. Breaking the first promise you make to someone makes them believe you’ll break others, too.
Read Matt's post - and if you're attending Techshow in Chicago this weekend, be sure to introduce yourself (and see #10 on the list)!
