Unlock the Benefits of Attending: Why the 2024 ATI National Conference in Charlotte is a Must-Attend Event by Anthony Johnson

As our national conference draws closer at the end of July, you might be wondering why does someone attend a conference? Well, there’s the obvious reason – it’s time to get away from the office on the company dime.

But seriously, there are many more reasons why you should register for this signature event. In fact, a recent article by meeting organizer, Expologic, cites several benefits for attendees:

Take advantage of professional development opportunities. If you have a cool new program or an interesting client case study, you can present this to dozens of your peers from around the country. Not only are you educating them, but you might also gain insight on what related things they are seeing in their community.
Expand your circle of contacts. Networking is great at conferences because you are in a room full of people who have the very same professional interests as you! No small talk or awkward conversation starters needed.
Brush up on your skills. Conferences are great at offering crash courses in topics that you might be interested in learning more about – from client case management to TikTok marketing to grant writing.
Advance your career. Oftentimes, conference attendees will know about employment opportunities at their agencies and others. It’s a good way to find out firsthand about a company’s culture, challenges, and pay/benefits.
Become a leader in your field. There is usually a whole network of support behind the scenes set up to make the conference possible. Whether it’s the board or committees doing the work, you can only imagine how happy those members would be if you showed interest in helping. And it looks great on your resume!
