Going to Expo, just being in these spaces with professionals who have the same goals as you. It's so important to learn from them and to see what everybody else is doing and bring it back to your organization. I think if there's any educator out there who hasn't been to Expo, you have to make it a priority: it's going to be better for you and your career in the long run.
