Tips for attending the conference as a team

Align your vision as you forge strong relationships and a deeper, shared understanding with your colleagues and peers to help drive your strategies forward.
  • Pre-conference
  • During the conference
  • Post-conference

Pre-conference

  • Have a team-planning call to set key objectives.
  • Decide a strategy for how to divide and conquer the agenda (which sessions you attend collectively could be as important).
  • Agree on how you will share key learning.
  • Create a document repository for notes, slides, etc., on Google Drive or other file-sharing platforms.
  • Add colleagues to your expert one-on-ones.

During the conference

  • Create a Microsoft Teams/Slack/Google Hangout channel to stay in touch during the conference.
  • Make a plan to share a coffee or lunch break together as a team.
  • Set up a.m./p.m. meetings to discuss what you hope to learn, what you did learn, and stay connected.

Post-conference

  • Set up a meeting to review key take-aways and create an action plan for how you will apply what you have learned. What are you going to start doing/stop doing/do differently as a result of what you have learned?
  • Connect on LinkedIn with any peers you met during the conference.
  • Schedule follow-up meetings with any exhibitors that piqued your interest (through the Attendee Portal).

“Really enjoy the topics for discussion as they provide insights to the forward-facing expectation of finance leaders and how to shape your finance teams and finance strategy to remain competitive in the market.”
