Scenario: You just registered for a conference that you are so excited about 😄! You already pinned 📌 which breakouts you want to attend and ordered a new notebook to take a ton a notes in 📓.
Default Option: You block off your calendar 📆 for the conference dates right away, so you know you’ll be available for the entire conference program.
A HMMM Option: You also block off 1 to 2 hours ⌚ the week AFTER the conference. This will give you designated time to reflect 🤔 on and start to process all you’ve learned. Then you can consider how you want to apply the information 💫 now that you are back in your day to day. Finally, you design an action plan 💪 to integrate your key takeaways and block off additional time on your calendar 🗓 to implement those action plan items. Thus, maximizing the investment you made 💵 in time and money to attend the conference.
NOTE:Â If you are a conference planner and reading this post, I have designed a workshop that would be beneficial for most conferences. This workshop will guide your attendees through action planning! See the Conference Facilitation page for more information.
