It’s Conference Season: Are You Ready to Make It Count? | Risk Matrix Episode 136
Risk Matrix #136: It’s Conference Season: Are You Ready to Make It Count?
Safety professionals who attend conferences without a plan are leaving professional development on the table.
In this episode Dr. Martin and James discuss how to approach conference season as a strategic part of your professional development plan, and how intentional preparation can help safety professionals get maximum value from every event they attend.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Plan before you arrive. Know your goals, challenge yourself by selecting sessions two difficulty levels above your current experience, and prioritize research-to-practice presentations over big ideas.
- Use the conference app. Download it before you go for scheduling, session materials, and to access breakouts you had to miss.
- Network with intention. Update your LinkedIn, bring business cards, add connections on the spot, and reach beyond your existing circle into areas where you want to grow.
