Being part of a professional conference is a great way to learn a lot of things. Not only are you able to hear from experts in your field, but you will also get to meet different people of the same interest. One of the best parts is when you not only make professional connections with these people, but become friends.
When planning to go to such events, make sure that you know how to get the most out of it and make it a worthwhile experience. On today’s episode we will share with you our experiences fresh from the latest professional conference we went to, FinCon 2018. Allow us to give you information and useful tips you can apply if you are planning to attend any event like this in the future.
“As you progress in your business you become more of an authority on your subject and that’s just the next step, being involved in a community of whatever conference you’re in. Here’s the truth, my business and what we are doing with Laptop Empires is doing better than a lot of people at that conference, but nobody knows because I haven’t been involved.I haven’t been providing value, I haven’t been in the community so a lot of people don’t see me as a perceived authority on these things… I haven’t positioned myself as an expert among my community, the only way I can do that is to get way more involved in this thing and actually provide value and help people…” – Bobby Hoyt
