• If you come with a group, split up to diversify the information you bring back to the office
• Bring plenty of business cards
• Come with an open mind
• To ensure your personal comfort, bring a light jacket or sweater that you can put on or take off if you find the room too cool or too warm
• Speak up and ask questions – it's the best way to get the information you're looking for
• Keep a log of action points that you can implement immediately when you get back to the office
• Complete and turn in your conference evaluation forms – that's the best way to let us know what YOU want
