Leaving Lasting Impressions...
During a professional training conference the quick chat in the hallway and the peer-to-peer conversations before and after a workshop help to build shared experiences that are incredibly powerful. Once you've shared a few meals or a few jokes with someone, you're fast friends. If you need them to answer some questions over email or visa versa, you're quick to come to one another's aid.
The service coordinator community thrives on these kinds of connections. This year we have created The Meeting Spot at the National Conference to help attendees network with peers and share real-life experiences face-to-face. In addition, we are bringing back the JOT Social Networking system to help attendees connect before, during, and after the conference.
The JOT Social Networking site will open about a month before the conference. Attendees can build their own profiles with areas of interest to make it easier for networking on site. Be sure to visit the site when it opens to see who shares your interests.
On Sunday, from 6:00-7:00 pm attendees are invited to visit The Meeting Spot for a Meet & Greet hour.
On Monday afternoon, from 4:00-5:00 pm we have set aside some time for Round Table Networking at The Meeting Spot.
