No internet needed. Oh, and there are always, and I mean always, one, two, or ten hilarious tales to tell upon your return home! Trust me on that one! Other people who, like you, are willing and able to take time away from work and home to build relationships and learn new things. You are there for it. They are there for it. That energy is missing if you are sitting at home alone, snacking on Oreos with your precious pet iguana on your lap, listening and learning online.
Nothing wrong with that, I love Oreos too. Conferences and live events are fun! That only happens when you are there — live and in person! I am well aware that traveling to conferences is not for everyone.
Physical or mental limitations may not allow travel and attendance. I totally understand that. But, if you get the right opportunity, and you can figure a way to travel safely to the destination, you should consider attending one.
Some of the other benefit of conference networking: include carrie r advice, the present job opportunities on the market a nd maybe find a job you like, all those are crucial for your evolution and productivity. New opportunities to connect are the best thing s that can come out of a conference. M eeting with your peers, that have the same interest and maybe the same goal to succeed can be the greatest occasion for you to build new collaborations for your project.
Attending conferences can bring you new ideas, that you can implement into your work from new tools to use , new digital software or new app roach es you can implement. Exposure to this type of event sparks creativity and innovation. Getting out of you r daily work , can make you see the big picture better , and see the flaws in your workflow, in order to improve them. A conference is specially created in a location where you can enjoy the rest of the day s or maybe take extra days before or after it as a vacation.
Attending a conference in a different location broadens your horizon and interacting with different people f rom different cultures is beneficial for boosting you r creativity and it even it lowers your stress level. Chemical Engineering. Civil Engineering.

I remember watching someone create a Facebook app in front of me at a session just to show what was possible. I remember hearing about YouTube cards for the first time from a presentation by Steve Dotto, and explaining how they would change online videos forever.
The flip side of learning new things is relearning classic techniques. A few years ago at Agents of Change , John Lee Dumas talked about the importance of creating an avatar for your business, and how it streamlined his thinking. You can listen here to an interview I did with John a few weeks later where we dug deeper into this topic. Napoleon Hill wrote about masterminds in Think and Grow Rich , but the concept has been around forever. Other people who are willing to take time away from the office to learn something new.
That energy is lacking in all online learning channels, regardless of how much chatter there may be around a hashtag.
