Just a few days away!
Have you packed yet? Clothes, sunglasses, instruments? Notebook and pen? List of three key questions to ask everyone you meet? Convention is about professional development and networking, but also about getting to know your colleagues. What better way than to have a few questions ready to go when you meet someone! We all have areas of our programs that we want to improve, so take advantage of this casual environment where everyone is more than willing to freely discuss and share ideas that have worked for them!
