One of the main reasons to attend conference each year is to acquire new ideas, bring them back to your organization, and put them into action. Below we offer some advice for making the most of your experience.
|
You came to learn and now it's time to act as a change agent. Here are six ways to ensure you can implement the ideas you learned and get the most out of your conference experience:
| 1 |
Access learning session slides. PowerPoint slides from most learning sessions are available on the app. Open the presentations in your browser, where you can then save them as PDFs and email them to yourself. Then use these as road maps to create your plan, and be sure to download the slides to the sessions you couldn’t attend.
|
| 2 |
Type up your notes. Remember those great notes you took in your ASHHRA Journal? Be sure to take the extra step to type up your notes. Typing handwritten notes allows you to further commit ideas and concepts to memory and allows them to be easily shared with colleagues. Once you’ve typed them, bring them to staff meetings and share them with others.
|
| 3 |
Create your plan. After reviewing notes and the available slides, create a plan of action that puts your conference takeaways into action. Start with one idea, or decide to make one change, then make it happen. After that small victory, you’ll be more motivated to continue down the path to change.
|
| 4 |
Send a couple emails. Be sure to follow up with those you met. Send an encouraging email, drop a line to say hello, inspire the sharing of ideas, say ‘thank you’ to someone—nurture the relationships that you created. You’ll see an immense return on your efforts.
|
| 5 |
Connect with others via social media. Set aside time to find colleagues on LinkedIn and Twitter. Send a message and continue the conversation. This is an easy way to stay in contact with your conference connections.
|
| 6 |
Keep that conference app! The ASHHRA conference app is live and active until next year’s conference, so use it as a resource to continue to make connections and share ideas. Challenge each other to implement change.

We want to extend a sincere thank you to our sponsors, exhibitors, and business partners for another great year in the Exposition Hall. We couldn't do any of this without their support, and their commitment to ASHHRA and its members made the ASHHRA 54th Annual Conference & Exposition an experience to remember.
You can find a list of all the #ASHHRA18 exhibitors and sponsors in the Conference App. Be sure to follow up with the people you met in Pittsburgh!
