Navigating as a Newbie

Are you a first-time attendee — or have general questions about the conference? Here are tips and resources for navigating ASPPA2021:

The Basics

• Make and keep connections! Use the mobile app to setup connections and exchange business cards.

• Stay connected with ASPPA! Get involved in the association; stop by the ASPPA booth to learn more!

• Share and discuss the new ideas you learned with your co-workers.

Design Your Conference

• Once you have registered, use the conference agenda to plan your itinerary — follow one of designated the tracks or chart your own course of sessions you wish to attend.

• Identify two sessions that interest you for each time slot, to ensure you have a plan B if a session is full or the topic isn’t what you thought it would be.

• Check out the list of sponsors and exhibitors, before the conference begins, to plan which booths to visit.
