while you are at the convention. Each one is an opportunity for another new conversation. • Pay attention to the professional information that is presented. Education is a privilege in all of its forms. The things you learn during a convention may change or enhance your career direction significantly. • Bring business cards, and exchange them with other people. It’s easier to reconnect later with someone if you do. • Keep initial conversations light. The first time you talk to someone is prob- ably not the time to talk about your childhood dreams and aspirations. Instead, ask questions about subjects that are of interest to you, such as finding out major employers in our field, ways to get involved, and skills to focus on for improvement. • Take advantage of discounts and handouts. There may be product and service exhibits that would help you, and the convention cost may be lower than it would normally be. After the Convention The convention should continue to benefit you after you leave: • Your association may offer professional services to members, such as help with finding a job. You may also find opportunities (especially for jobs) as a result of your access to directories and journals. • Seasoned professionals may decide to mentor you. • Put the knowledge you gained to work, and continue to collect more insight as you go along. • Most important of all, look for service and leadership opportunities where you could benefit others, then make sure you give these opportunities your best efforts. You might end up writing and publishing articles, serving and eventually leading committees, influencing legislation, and becoming one of the must-meet attendees yourself.
