In this article, Carol Fisher Saller, editor of the Chicago Manual of Style’s Q&A, provides some fantastic tips on the pros and cons of attending and editing conference, including how to decide what conferences to attend and how to approach your experience there. It reflects many of my own views, because as a consultant/contractor, I have to pay for my own way to conferences, and usually lose a week’s pay, so I have to make the trip affordable and worth the time off! While Saller speaks specifically about editing conferences, the advice easily extends to tech comm, content strategy, content marketing, and e-learning/m-learning conferences, too. Do you agree with her recommendations? Include your comments below. –TechCommGeekMom
