Tips for selecting a session

PRECONFERENCE

  • Circle topics related to annual goals, projects or problems
  • Check program and addendum
  • Review detailed summaries in Program Guide, see how applicable sessions are goals or interests
  • Transfer information to the pocket agenda – noting 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices
  • If gaps – select something completely out of your area of expertise or comfort zone
  • If conflicts, try to get an associate to cover some sessions

DURING THE CONFERENCE

  • Check in with colleagues to see if they liked a particular presenter who is doing another talk later on. Readjust schedule if needed.

FINALLY:  

  • Avoid carrying anything but a note pad, pen and pocket agenda to the sessions.
  • Don't forget to check out our sample agenda for first-time attendees!
