Are There Benefits in Attending Professional Conferences?
Conference season has arrived for many of us in the Library and as we plan who should attend what conference this year, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the reasons why staff should attend. Are there any benefits? Do the benefits outweigh the cost?
Perhaps the key for me is ensuring that the conference will support at least one of our yearly goals. I see this strategic approach as a critical factor. While the conference can certainly be positioned as a learning experience, it really is about the “takeaways” and how they will be implemented when the staff member returns. Innovation and providing cutting-edge services cannot happen without the opportunities to see what is beyond the walls of the Library.
