I always find conferences to be worthwhile focused learning and networking experiences – what about you? What has been your experience at conferences?

Hi Alysia
I agree – conferences can be very inspiring!! I like to make notes of all the great ideas I get in conferences and choose one to act on as soon as I get back. I also find it’s great to pull the ideas back out and review when the initial enthusiasm starts to wane.

Liz,
In addition to being a networking haven, I love conferences because they are so inspirational. I find that as soon as I return home from one, my writing is improved, my mind is full of ideas, and I am all that more energized in my craft. Conferences certainly cure any writer’s block that may have been lurking. Thanks for the great information on this upcoming conference!
