Great tips, Beth! Another benefit of your sharing with others is that it demonstrates the value of the events you attend. Great when you need others’ approvals to attend future events.

Making those decisions at the conference helps me to remember to get contact info from the speaker, permission to use slide decks and photos while I’m there and everything is at my fingertips. Then it is easier to get my follow up work started when I get back to cold, busy reality. One action item is often to share a brief summary of the top three or four best conference takeaways with the City Council and a mailing list of interested people who couldn’t attend. The interested people may jump in and become implementation partners, and the Council has a heads up that this is a best practice from other places so field tested, even if it is a new idea to them.
