I advise planning your attendance, tracks, and sessions before getting to the conference. There are so many different sessions, and a good organized schedule can help you make the most of your experience. We would also advise exploring the EXPO. Use the EXPO as a networking tool and update yourself with the latest products in the L&D industry.
