Fall is nearly upon us and that means – conference season! To get the most out of the “must attend” or “attendance strongly recommended” events clogging every precious spare moment on your calendar, I tapped into organizers, speakers, attendees and sponsors in my network to get their suggestions on how to make the most of an event whether you’re there to (a) meet employers (b) schmooze with investors (c) gain valuable insights (d) build relationships with colleagues or (e) simply satisfy your curiosity. As Ian Sanders, creative consultant so aptly shared with me when I reached out to him on this topic – “It’s easy to be cynical about the value of conferences, away-days and off-sites. But gathering people in one place is so important; it’s the glue that keeps people networks together.”
