Who else is excited about attending in-person events again? I’ve attended two conferences recently and I’m thrilled to be able to hug old friends and meet some new ones. 

 

Unfortunately, my ADHD brain is challenged with making sure I’m making the most out of in-person events while I’m there and making sure that I follow through on all the after-conference follow-up. (Follow-up is not my strong suit.)

 

Do you feel the same? 

 

On this episode, I’m sharing some steps to take before, during, and after any conference or event (in-person or virtual) that will help you ensure your time and entry ticket cost aren’t wasted. 

 

I’ve met some of my favorite people in the world at business events, and events (and some of these people!) have helped me grow my business and my network. Let’s make sure the same is true for you!
