The Importance of Professional Conferences

Everyone is so busy that often attending a professional conference gets moved to a low priority. However, the connections that are made at these professional conferences are incredibly important.

When deciding whether or not to attend a conference, take a moment to reflect on where you are in your career and what you want to do in the future. The connections you make at a conference can help you with a current work project or can help you find another job if necessary.

I will be attending the Society of Southwest Archivists Annual Conference in New Orleans from May 28 - May 31. Let me know if you would like to get together and learn more about the importance of networking!
