Finally, I’m fulfilling my role as a full time web/community marketing enthusiast. In my opinion, conferences are one of the best ways to network, learn more about your industry, and figure how you can add value to your company.
Yet, I’m both excited and nervous. Nervous b/c its difficult to both soak everything in AND brand yourself. I plan on attending these events on a regular basis, mostly because its an interest of mine that happens to compliment my role at HDS, but its not all about listening to speakers; its also about being able to network with other professionals around the area.
I believe in the network of ONE – this is finding at least 2 other people who are experts in something DIFFERENT than me…this will make me valuable as I take this network from job to job.
Soon I’ll be posting some tips on how to make the best out of a conference and how to brand yourself at a conference…Until then, please check back on Saturday for my notes and pictures.
SPECIAL THANKS TO JEREMIAH – he’s awarded me with a ticket to the Community Viral Next Conference!
