Conference Cheat Sheet

July 29, 2019 By hautegreyfox Leave a Comment

Do you travel often with your job? For me — not too much.

However, when my colleagues and I attend conferences, it’s a great opportunity to check-in on our skills and learn more about how to do our jobs with the latest information and tools. Guess where a recent conference was hosted not too long ago?

Arizona!

This was my second time visiting this state, and I was not disappointed. Sedona is absolutely beautiful, which is quite helpful when getting used to Arizona’s temperatures!

As you know, conferences can be one-day events or multiple days. Either way, when the last session has ended, how do you spend your evening? Do you arrive earlier before the conference start date, or do you catch a later flight once the conference has ended? In this season, I have learned to enjoy every experience by not rushing through the moment.

Here are a few ways to prepare for a conference and enjoy the city:

Bring the right carry-on bag

For this trip, I brought my Paravel Weekender bag. It’s small enough to come aboard and large enough for items that I might buy before heading back home. Each time I travel to a new city, I like to check out stores to see if I can find any unique items or things that I won’t be able to find in my area. With the Weekender, I don’t have to worry about buying a new bag or squeezing new items into an already stuffed suitcase.

Plan ahead

Many conference websites will give you advice on hotels, restaurants and other activities. However, as you’ve read from previous blogs, always ask a friend, a co-worker or your social media family! Time flies when you’re balancing work responsibilities and personal time. By planning ahead, you won’t waste your time on a mediocre restaurant or an overly priced tourist location.

Keep it simple

Remember, this is a conference tied directly to your job; this isn’t a vacation with later mornings or a nap before dinner. Don’t overcommit and fill your calendar every evening. You may want to rest one evening without any obligations. Create a personal list of one or two big things that you’d like to accomplish, and enjoy those experiences.

Sometimes travel can be overwhelming, whether it is personal or work-related. By making the best out of the experience, you can create memories that include more than PowerPoint presentations, white papers, and business cards.

I’ve always enjoyed celebrating my birthday because it’s around Thanksgiving, which means there’s a chance I’ll be spending it with many members of my family. What a gift! This year, I had the privilege of doing it one more time. 
How did I celebrate?
We brought out lots of delicious food (like gumbo) — and the cards, y’all. From Uno to spades, we played round after round. It was so much fun spending downtime with my family.  I want to continue living with thankfulness.  What about you?

Instagram post 2191815876209099170_271055940 My go to style is timeless and simple like this effortless black turtleneck dress.  Love how the classic-turtleneck was updated with beautiful puff sleeves - and it’s very affordable!  I purchased one in black and one in tan 😀 you should run to target because I’m pretty sure this beauty will sell out!  Paired it with my tibi otk boots and my favorite @goorinbros #colonelpierce hat
