Tip for sharing new ideas at conferences

sharing new ideas: A paper form entitled "Best Practices, Tips and Tricks"

Take a moment to tell us about the new solutions you've discovered while talking with your colleagues. After the conference, we’ll compile these tips into one document to share with all conference attendees. Provide the session name and breakout on this form (i.e. Workforce Innovations, 9 — 25 FTE’s). The more ideas shared, the larger the pool of knowledge!

Best practices, tips and tricks you’d like to share:
Here’s a tip for sharing new ideas from individual conference attendees into a shared resource that everyone can use.

Create a form like the one illustrated above. Make multiple copies easily available at all sessions. You can place them on tables, have a stack by the room entrances, etc. At the start of the event, encourage attendees to use the forms to write down best practices, tips, and ideas sparked during sessions, explaining that all contributions will be compiled and shared with everyone after the conference. Provide boxes for attendees to post completed forms. Once the conference is over, promptly summarize the ideas shared and post the resulting document on the conference website or other conference community.
