Do you often leave a conference feeling inspired and keen to learn more but find once you get back into everyday busyness the post-conference enthusiasm quickly wears off?
The greatest benefit we get from attending a conference does not happen on the conference day but rather in the weeks following the conference. The excitement and state of mental inquisitiveness instilled in us during the conference can accelerate personal growth but only if harnessed correctly.
Through years of research and experiments with development teams, I formulated a series of principles to help developers nurture and safeguard their conference experience long after the event. These principles will help you effectively acquire new skills, remain enthusiastic, connect with industry peers, give back to the development community and raise your profile.
Key take-aways:
• It takes more than technical skills to be a world-class developer.
• Why conferences are so impactful.
• Preparing for a great conference experience.
• Make the information permanent with Blooms Taxonomy for Learning.
• After the conference – a mind-shift, practical steps, and good habits.
• How to establish and serve a local development community.
