Time spent at a conference is a big commitment. Not only is there\nthe cost of attending the event (flights, hotel, tickets, etc.) but also the\ntime away from your work which is losing your company money. To make sure you\ncome away from the event having made the most out of your valuable time and\nexpenses, here are a few tips on how to prepare and what to expect when you\narrive at your Phuket conference venue.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

Check the agenda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that you know what each speaker is going to be talking\nabout, which companies will have booths, what the breakout sessions will cover\nand basically every detail of every second of the event. This way, you can make\na comprehensive plan of where you want to be at what time to learn as much much\nas possible that\u2019s relevant to your work.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Learn the layout<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try to get hold of a map of the Phuket conference venue you\u2019re\ngoing to so that you know the fastest routes to the places you want to be.\nConferences have a habit of becoming very confusing and labyrinthine, so it\u2019s\nworth taking the time in advance to learn the layout so that you\u2019re not wasting\ntime at the event.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

Bring enough business cards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, bring an excess. The key to industry conferences is\nnetworking and the connections you make during your time there could be\nimportant future clients or colleagues. If you make a connection and the have\nno means of getting in touch with you afterwards because you weren\u2019t able to\ngive them a business card means a lot of wasted time and effort, not to mention\na missed opportunity.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

\"Bring<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bring a phone charger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your phone running out of batteries in the middle of the\nconference would be a disaster. If you run out of business cards, exchanging\nLinkedIn connections might be the only option. Additionally, if the Phuket\nconference venue has embraced modern trends, having no phone battery could mean\nthe amount you can participate in events will be reduced to zero. Invest in a\npower bank. A good one.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n

Follow up<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting someone at a conference is only the tip of the iceberg. If you don\u2019t send them an email or phone call once you\u2019re back in the office then collecting their card is just cluttering up your desk with more waste cardboard. If you felt that they were worth committing time to at the time, commit a bit more afterwards and follow up on the lead. <\/p>
