My mom (to this day) sends me out into the world with the same old family pep talk that she heard herself when she was a wee lass, "Be a good girl, have a good time, and learn a lot." Even if I am just running out to the grocery store, those are usually her trailing words as I go. Therefore, I was kind of inspired when I stumbled on a few places on the Internet spouting a similar mantra for conference attendees. So, go forth and, "Be a good conference attendee, have a good time and learn a lot." But, before you go, check out these resources:
