Whether you’re an experienced attendee or a first-timer, these events can be incredibly valuable for staying updated, networking, and gaining insights into the latest trends. But here’s a crucial question: Are you making the most out of your summit experience?
Why Preparation Matters
As an attendee, you’re not just representing yourself; you’re also representing your organization, and for many, the responsibility goes even further. Business owners and CEOs often rely on their trusted employees to attend these conferences and return with valuable information to aid in decision-making.
At Technology Management Concepts (TMC), we understand the importance of this role, and we’re here to help you make the most out of your Summit experience. We know that planning and preparation can make a significant difference in the value you bring back to your company.
Your Comprehensive Summit Recap Template
To help you be more intentional and organized at the summit, we’ve prepared a template that you can fill out during the event. This tool will not only streamline your experience but also ensure that you come back with the knowledge and answers you need to drive your organization forward.
Here’s what’s on the template, and why each section is essential:
Company Goals: By always keeping your organization’s objectives in consideration, you can filter and prioritize the information and connections you acquire, making sure they align with your company’s strategic direction.
My Goals at the Summit: Determine the specific achievements you desire during the event. This will aid you in maintaining focus and guarantee that your endeavors contribute to your company’s goals.
Key Takeaways from Keynotes and Training Sessions: Jot down the most crucial insights you gain from these sessions. These insights could be game-changers for your business.
Microsoft Partner Meetings and Key Takeaways: If you schedule meetings with Microsoft partners (which we highly recommend), note the highlights from these discussions. This information can be invaluable for technology-related decisions. Note what questions needed to be asked and which partners can give you a comprehensive and in-depth answer.
Action Items and To-Do List: Don’t let great ideas or important tasks slip through the cracks. Create a list of action items to implement when you return to the office.
Networking Contacts: Building a network is one of the most significant benefits of attending summits. Record the contacts you make and any relevant notes about your discussions.
Why Visit TMC’s Booth?
While many Microsoft partners bring their sales representatives to the Summit, we take a different approach at TMC. We understand the value of having your questions answered by experienced consultants who truly know the ins and outs of implementing Microsoft business solutions. That’s why our booth will be staffed with our top managers and consultants, ready to provide you with real answers, not just sales pitches.
So, as you gear up for the Summit, use our template to plan your summit experience, ensuring that you return with the insights and connections your organization needs to thrive. And when you’re at the event, be sure to stop by TMC’s booth (#1226) or schedule an appointment with us to speak to our consultants. We’re here to make your summit experience truly valuable. See you there!
