It’s conference time for me and I’ve prepared the handouts for the classes I’m teaching and I’ve also prepped for what can sometimes be tiring days. Some snacks in case my energy is lagging, a water bottle to stay hydrated, comfortable shoes, both comfortable and dressier clothes, computer and cables, and last but not least, business cards.
Alas, I forgot the business cards. Big duh! What else should you be ready to do? SOCIALIZE! Yes, go out there and meet new people. One of the most fun parts of any conference is mingling with writers and readers from all over and sharing our common passion: books. It really makes for a different conference experience when you put yourself out there which is not always an easy thing to do.
So stay positive and have fun at whatever conference you may be attending!
