I recently returned from my annual trek to the 43rd National Wellness Conference in St. Paul MN and wondered why we go to these professional conferences every year? Is it because we are supposed to bring back some nuggets of wisdom that will change the way we do our work? But then we get so over-loaded with information we return home dazed and confused about what we really learned.

So this time I decided to sort it all out by making a list of everything that made an impression on me. And here are the benefits I discovered - in random fashion.
So these are my random thoughts about the "real" benefits from attending a professional conference. My challenge to you is to create a list for yourself the next time you go to not only appreciate the rich rewards of going, but to build a case about why it's not just about content gained, but relationships developed and personal growth experiences enhanced.
What would your list look like?
