How to Make the Most Out of Spring Conference

By: Josie Agnew

The 2024 Spring Conference is quickly approaching, and we want to ensure that our

first-time attendees are able to make the most of their experience. Included in this post

are a list of tips for anyone who needs a reminder on how to enjoy the Spring Conference

to the fullest extent.

Do some preliminary research: The full speaker list is available on our Spring Conference

website so you may learn a bit about them before meeting them on April 6th. DOing so

can help you to determine which speakers you would like to hear from at the Conference

and know what to expect from each one.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions: Our speakers are here to offer you valuable advice for your

future career, and asking questions to better enhance what you get out of the conference

is important. Upon researching the professionals prior to the event, try making a short list

of broad questions you could ask, which you can later make more specific once you hear

from the speakers.

Take notes: Don’t forget a pen and paper so you may write down anything important you

learn from our speakers. It will be a long day in which a lot of information is thrown at

you, so be sure to take notes in order to keep track of the many different lessons you may

learn.

Don’t feel pressure to participate all day: You are by no means required to stay at the

Conference all day, so if you are feeling overwhelmed or in need of a break feel free to

take a breather and come back, or chat with a GWWIB member about anything that is

concerning you. Our members are always here to support you and answer any questions

you may have throughout the day.

Dress to Impress! The dress code for the Spring Conference is business chic- so wear

something that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Keep these tips above in mind for April 6th, and we can’t wait to see you then!
