How to get the most out of attending a conference.

Last week I ticked a few CPD boxes and went to the FISIC conference. I work at the clinic which organises this international event, so it was kind of expected of me to attend, but it’s a good conference never the less. Not all conferences are amazeballs quality however, and I’ve learned to lower my expectations about what I will actually get out of these events, educationally.
Now I’ve got a whole new attitude. Rather than go for the learning, I go for the connections.
Here are my top tips for getting the best out of attending, when it comes to growing your private practice.
Get there early and get stuck into brekkie chat.
Rather than skulk in at five to nine to pick up your lanyard and the ‘well-intentioned’ branded bag, that you will later pop into the recycling. Why not get there early, loiter with intent, and introduce yourself to the first speakers of the day. No doubt they will be in the refreshment area, reverberating nervously from too much caffeine, keen to see friendly faces.
Which leads to point number two…
