1 Choose relevant events

Not all events are created equal. Some may be too general, too expensive, or too far away for you to benefit from. That's why you need to do some research before you register. Look for events that match your interests, goals, and budget. For example, if you want to learn more about a specific drilling technique, look for a workshop that offers hands-on training. If you want to meet potential employers or clients, look for a conference that has a networking session or a trade show that showcases your niche.

Opportunities for career growth and promotion exist in the drilling sector, but often it's unclear how to take advantage of them. While certificates, education, and training can all help you advance in your career, nothing can match the importance of hands-on training and experience in the field. To optimize your on-the-job training, bear the following recommended procedures in mind: Locate a mentor who possesses extensive field knowledge and expertise. In case something is confusing, ask inquiries. Keep an eye out and record everything that occurs on a project site. Without an understanding of one's talents and flaws and how to develop, career growth is impossible. Ask for feedback or a performance review every six months.

2 Prepare in advance

Once you have decided which events to attend, you need to prepare yourself to make a good impression. This means updating your resume, business cards, and online profiles. It also means reviewing the agenda, speakers, and exhibitors of the event. You may want to reach out to some of them beforehand and express your interest or ask questions. This will help you build rapport and stand out from the crowd. You may also want to prepare some elevator pitches or talking points to introduce yourself and your skills.

3 Engage during the event

The main purpose of attending an industry event is to learn and connect with others. Don't just sit back and listen. Participate actively in the sessions, ask questions, share your opinions, and offer feedback. You may also want to join the online discussions on social media or the event app. Use hashtags, tags, and mentions to increase your visibility and engagement. And don't forget to exchange contact information with the people you meet. You never know who might be your next mentor, partner, or employer.

4 Follow up after the event

The event may be over, but your work is not done. You need to follow up with the people you met and the information you learned. Send personalized emails or messages to your new contacts and thank them for their time and insights. You may also want to share some resources, articles, or opportunities that are relevant to them. Keep the conversation going and nurture the relationship. You may also want to review your notes and action items from the event and implement them in your work. You may also want to share your key takeaways and feedback with your peers or managers.

5 Evaluate the outcomes

Finally, you need to evaluate the outcomes of attending the event and see if it was worth it. Did you learn something new or useful? Did you meet someone who can help you advance your career? Did you gain exposure or recognition in the industry? Did you find a new opportunity or challenge? These are some of the questions you can ask yourself to measure the value of the event. You may also want to track your progress and results over time and see how they relate to the event.

6 Plan for the next event

Attending one event is not enough to advance your drilling career. You need to keep looking for more opportunities to learn and network in the industry. You may want to join a professional association, a online community, or a newsletter that can keep you updated on the upcoming events. You may also want to set some goals and objectives for your next event and see how you can improve your performance and outcomes. The more you attend and engage in industry events, the more you can advance your drilling career.

You must be predisposed to learn, that each conversation will add to you and you will be able to contribute too. Listen and speak with humility. Although everyone may be a professional at the event, everyone is a person and has a different way of managing their emotions. You must talk to each person, adapting accordingly, there will be times when you must change your tone of voice, posture, etc. Stay tuned!
