• Share the onsite program book and website with your colleagues.
• Discuss the knowledge you will gain from attending and how it will benefit your work.
• Offer to prepare and deliver a short presentation and Q&A session for your colleagues to share what you learn, so others in your work setting can benefit from your attendance.
• Be ready with a plan that shows who will cover for you while you are attending the Annual Meeting.
• Make a list of exhibitors you plan to visit whose products and services would be an asset to your work and organization. Share any informational material or samples from exhibitors you receive with your colleagues.
