STC Conference Tips

[RJACOBSE -at- GPS -dot- COM]

 Kathleen,
There's a First-Timers' Session on Sunday evening at the Hilton. I'd check
that out.

Last year in Seattle was my first STC Conference. Here are a few random
thoughts:

Take plenty of business cards, and exchange them with anyone you think
might possibly by a useful contact. (Shoot, exchange them willy-nilly. You
never know.)  Jot a quick note on the back of the cards you get to remind
you who this person was.

Use the proceedings to help choose the sessions you want to attend. Have
some alternatives for each time slot. There were a couple of sessions that
were full by the time I got to them last year, so it was nice to not have
to waste time trying to figure out what my alternatives were.

If there's a time slot that doesn't have an sessions that appeal to you,
don't be afraid to sit out in the lobby to try to gather your thoughts and
flesh out your notes.

Don't be a wall-flower: Mix, introduce yourself, ask questions, have fun.

This year I'll be attending my first STC Annual Conference and am wondering
if anyone has any crucial advice or information regarding events that
should not be missed?
Thanks!
