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 group-planning call to set key objectives.
  • Decide on 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.
  • Share sessions with your colleagues — make notes of times they would find especially helpful.
  • Make a plan to share a coffee or lunch break together as a group.
  • Set up a.m. or 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 Gartner Conference Navigator app).

“Having more members of your team at the conference allows you to take back content to your organization in a far richer way and corroborate some of the themes you have heard.”
