It’s no secret that people are cutting back on attending conferences. Set yourself apart from the crowd and attend MICE events in South Africa . These events give an opportunity to share information with other MICE professionals.
How to prepare for the meeting
1. Make a list of people you’d like to meet at the conference and why you want to meet them.
2. About one to two weeks prior to the conference, contact the people on your list.
3. When you’re at the meeting, try to stick to your schedule as much as possible and take notes during the educational sessions and during your private conversations.
After the Meeting
1. Immediately following the conference (perhaps on the airplane ride home), write or dictate a concise summary of what happened at the conference and how you will use the information you received and contacts you made to further the strategies of your organization.
2. Submit the summary to the person who sponsored your attendance, thanking him or her for the opportunity.
3. If the knowledge you gained might also be useful to others in your organisation, consider rewriting portions of your summary as a blog or Twitter post.
Attending conferences is one of the best ways of responding to times of increased uncertainty. Conferences are all about collaboration and learning.
