8 NACAC Conference Tips From Our Team

This isn’t our first rodeo! Read on for some NACAC conference tips from our team.

 

1. Wear comfy shoes 👟

Oh, and by the way, jeans are just fine. 

 

2. Get your badge early 📛

That way, you can just walk right in on the first day. They will most likely be handing them out in front or just inside of the convention center.

 

3. Bring food (or be prepared to pay for it) 🍎

You’re gonna get hungry from all the walking, so be sure to bring some snacks and a water bottle, if you can. Or stop by the Scoir booth to grab some!

 

4. Update your LinkedIn beforehand 🖥️

Odds are, you’ll be making some new connections. Ensure your LinkedIn bio, job title, and job status are up to date so people can easily find you online.

 

5. Make sure you have your business cards 📇

Gotta make sure people remember you!

 

6. Plan your days 🗓️

Look at the schedule ahead of time and note which sessions you want to attend and booths you want to visit.

 

7. Know your goals going in ✔️

Do you want to network? Talk to your current vendors or meet new ones? Attend educational sessions?

 

8. Rest 😴

If you can, take breaks in the morning and evening. The days will be long, but it'll be worth it!
