Do you know how to conference like a pro? Next week I am presenting at the AICPA FVS conference in Dallas. It reminds me that "conference season" is in full swing. Going to a conference is a major undertaking if time and effort. More so if you do it wrong and don’t get anything out of it. Here are 18 tips to get you focused: 1/ Pick a good conference 2/ Set your goal 3/ Know your people-targets 4/ Maybe bring a wingperson 5/ Stay in the conference hotel 6/ Prepare an elevator pitch 7/ Bring good enough business cards 8/ Go to the sessions 9/ Sit with people you don't know 10/ Meet the vendors 11/ Plan your dinners 12/ Go to the parties 13/ Hang out in the bar 14/ Pay the bill 15/ Exhaust yourself 16/ Follow up 17/ Get the ROI 18/ Have fun I expanded on each one so you can get the most out of your next conference.
