193: 10 Ways to Prepare for Attending a Retreat, Conference, or Event

If you are planning to attend a retreat, conference, or event, how do you make sure it’s worth your investment of time and money? In this week’s episode, we’re talking about how to prepare well, and simple things you can do before, during, and after the event.

These include:

• Knowing your WHY for attending the event
• Practical tips for what to bring, where to stay, and travel dates
• Who to connect with at the event, and how to go about it
• How to make sure you retain and apply what you learned

These are all ways that I personally prepare for conferences, and I hope you walk away with some ideas that are helpful for you! Attending in-person events is a great way to learn and connect with others, and these tips can help you get the most out of your time away.
