It’s conference season! When done thoughtfully, a great conference can expose you to new innovations, great marketing ideas, killer connections, and amazing leadership growth opportunities. But, if you’re like me… a great conference can ALSO lead to overwhelm, imposter syndrome, and feeling like you don’t know where to start first. I don’t know about you, but I really really really enjoy attending industry conferences. Networking with peers, leveraging educational opportunities, and being the recipient of extreme motivation are three of the main reasons that I love to attend a great event — even if it’s just a single-day regional meeting. If the agenda is gold… I’m there!In the last two decades, I’ve figured out a few ways to get the most out of an industry affair and to keep it effective versus overwhelming. In this episode you’ll receive insightful tips on how to:Prep for a conference so that you can roll in prepared to receive and absorb the most pertinent information (like how to create your own LinkedIn QR Code lock screen!)Show up during an event in a way that allows to get the most of your time and experienceDebrief yourself and your team in a way that won’t cause overwhelmSet metrics to measure the success of the event and your implemented ideas 6 months down the roadAnd - I've got a video for you over on LinkedIn and in the Efficient Advisor Community to show you how to create your networking QR code in less than 30 seconds!_________________________________________________________Want to hang out with me, Matt Jarvis, Steven Jarvis and some other amazing advisors at The Perfect RIA Pre-conference Event at XYPN Live?
