National based conferences are vital to business growth. Networking events come in a variety of sizes from small local gatherings to workshops, seminars and large national based conferences.

The benefits of attending a networking conference is well worth the money, though it's not easy to determine the percentage of return on your investment. If you attend the conference with a goal in mind and you work hard to achieve that goal, the results can be long term.

You get to meet CEO's and entrepreneurs in a variety of industries that can inspire you and provide you with valuable advice and guidance. It's not uncommon for new business owners to secure a mentor that can guide them and reduce the risk of making serious errors in judgment along the way, this will save you considerable sums of money moving forward.

Inspiration and motivation is a wonderful benefit that is worth thousands when it comes to your business. You will gain insights, ideas and advice that you can take back to the office with you. Some ideas you may never have thought of. As you return to your office after the networking event, you are motivated, ...
... excited and ready to face challenges head on, such a valuable benefit.

When attending any networking event you meet influencer's, industry leaders and proven CEO's with a wealth of experience. You also meet like-minded individuals that you can share your ideas with, discuss any challenges and make plans for the future. You can gain a business partner, sponsor, mentor, client or supplier.

National based conferences are well organized networking events and there are a few things you can do to ensure you choose the right networking event to push your business forward, getting the maximum return on your investments.

The best way to identify if the conference is worth the money is to speak to others you know have attended the event in previous years. They will tell you if they found it worth attending and who they met, along with what they achieved. This can help you identify the best networking events for you and your brand.

Once you have booked the conference, it's always worthwhile to arrive a day or two in advance. This way you are not exhausted when you attend the first session. You can pay attention to what is going on. Not to mention, arriving early enables you to put your pitch in place and practice it to perfection when meeting others. At the opening reception you will feel bright and awake, not exhausted after a long flight with little sleep. This puts you in a better frame of mind to network and start reaching your networking goals.

Other attendees and some guest speakers will also arrive a day or two before the event. This also gives you a chance to start networking early, rather than when everyone else arrives and are trying to grab the attention of the speakers and other business owners. You get your foot in earlier. As the saying goes, “the early bird gets the worm.”

If everyone is given a name tag for the event, make sure yours is visible at all times. Putting your name tag on your right lapel, ensures it is in other peoples line of sight at all times.

Select the sessions you want to attend with care, ensuring you have time to move from one session to the next, giving you time in between to speak to the speakers and other attendees. If your aim is to network, you want to give yourself plenty of networking opportunities throughout the conference.
