I’ve come to realize that I’m an overplanner (my friends are probably rolling their eyes right now). I get this trait from my dad. I love to research places, read articles, make maps, create itineraries.
Conferences are one of my favorite ways to learn. And I’m an overplanner. When you combine these two things, it means that there’s a ridiculous amount of research and planning that goes into every conference I attend. I know that not everyone wants to plan to this degree, but there are still some useful tips and tricks you can takeaway to help you prepare for a conference.
