I LOVE professional development, especially a good conference. And as I prepare to head out to the NASPA 2023 in Boston (yes, this is recorded a bit early at the end of March), I wanted to share some tips and tricks to planning and having the best conference experience.

Ever since COVID, travel and attending large crowd events like a conference have become even more difficult than they used to be! Do we wear masks? Is attending in person really better than logging in online? And COVID stuff aside, how do you pick which conferences to go to? Or what goes into proposing a presentation, and what are the best ways to get accepted?

In this episode, I download all the lessons I’ve learned over the last 25 years in the world of conferencing. From booking hotels and packing to connecting with colleagues and networking, I'll cover my own process from start to finish and help you take on your next conference, whether it's your first or fortieth.
