How to Make the Most of Your Conference Visit
Attending an accounting conference can do wonders for your career. Conferences are a great chance to learn about accounting industry trends, gain new skills, and make new connections.
Any accounting conference will have a lot going on – and it’s impossible to attend everything. So how can you make sure you get the most out of your visit? Here are a few tips to remember to help make sure you get the most value from your accounting conference experience.
- Be prepared – Familiarise yourself with the agenda and the layout. You don’t want to get lost.
- Stand out from the crowd – Consider putting yourself forward for a visible role: a presenter, session facilitator, or conference volunteer.
- Build relationships – Meet new people. Or reconnect with existing clients, vendors and friends.
- Choose your sessions carefully – You can’t attend every one. Pick a broad range of topics that interest you.
- Remember to remember – Take notes. And collate them in a way you’ll find easy to unpack back at the office.
- Network – Remember to make time to attend any social events laid on by the conference to connect with people in a more informal setting.
- Switch off your phone – Emails can wait. Don’t let your smartphone be a barrier to making real-world connections.
- Follow up – Use those newly acquired business cards and Facebook friends to send friendly follow-ups and arrange to meet up.
Share what you learned – Share useful information with colleagues and friends. Perhaps give a talk at your next team meeting?
