Yes I know the snow is melting and the temperatures where I live are now in the livable range. And Yes I know its not December.
Even better? It's conference season.
Yep, most of the writers conferences are happening between now and summer. There are a few in September and October but that just spreads the joy a little longer.
So if you are gearing up to start the conference season starting this weekend with LTUE in Orem Ut. Or some other conference. I have a few suggestions of what to do and bring to make your time at the whirlwind of people and information better.
One, you need a bag. There's books, bookmarks, business cards, and other stuff that your going to be grabbing. You are also going to want to take notes and need a place to store said notepad.
In the bag you probably want paper and pens if like me you still take notes faster with them. Your notebook, laptop, iPad etc can also go in this bag.
A bottle of water and gum/mints for when your thirsty or meet somone youd like to talk to and you had onions on your sandwich at lunch time.
Snacks if you tend to be a little low in the blood sugar department.
Business cards with your contact information on them. Your email website and blog are the ones I think are most important.
One last thing. Remember to bring your manners and courtesies with you. That way everyone has fun.
The path to wisdom is not always straight.
