Getting Focused for Convention

Posted by Amy Kweskin On June - 11 - 2008

This is my fourth convention (Austin, Milwaukee, Vegas and now Philly) and in preparation for each I take time to set out my goals.

Questions I ask myself:

  • Why am I attending and how will I know it was a successful convention for me?
  • Who do I hope to meet and how can I grow my network?
  • How do I introduce myself since I always have on three hats?

I’m interested in hearing how other folks prepare.
