As you know, attending conferences can be a great way to directly learn from and connect with subject matter experts in your field. It’s a time to step away from the day-to-day grind and instead focus on further developing your depth of knowledge and understanding for finding new ways to address key issues facing your organization or clients.
Sadly budgets are limited. And most of us are only allowed to attend one conference per year if any at all. After all, attending conferences can be expensive. Between conference tickets, flight, hotels, meals, etc. It starts to really add up.
Thankfully, the MnSearch Summit can help. By bringing in speaker talent equal to if not even stronger than many national conferences. The MnSearch Summit is a cost effective way for you to partake in some often much needed professional development.
And for those of you who are still struggling to convince your boss to approve you for attending, don’t worry, we’ve got your back.
