Feeling overwhelmed about CSM? You’re not alone. In this episode, Katie flips the format and lets Macy Frederick Rogers (first-time attendee) ask the questions every PTA is thinking—so you can walk into CSM with a plan.

You’ll hear practical tips on:

• How to build a schedule you can actually follow (without burnout)
• What first-timers miss in the exhibit hall (including activations + APTA pavilion moments)
• Networking that doesn’t feel cringey—and why talking to presenters matters
• Packing and travel strategy (time change, snacks, shoes, coffee hacks, and more)
• Posters, overflow rooms, and how to support other PTAs in the space
