Preparation is Key to Maximizing Your Conference Experience

Conferences or annual meetings. Most of us enjoy the opportunity to break away from the typical workweek grind, expand our horizons, learn and network with other like professionals. The question is are you prepared to maximize the value you take away? A good question as many of you will be attending NRMLA’s Annual Meeting in San Francisco November 16th – 18th.

Here are 5 tips prepare:

1. Tie up loose ends. You may have to work harder the week prior to your conference. Get a handle on unfinished projects, call borrowers with pending applications and clear as many conditions on your loan pipeline as possible. That last thing you want is to be distracted when you finally arrive.

2. Email autoresponder. Use your email’s vacation autoresponder during your absence. Let those emailing you know when you will be out of town and the response times they should anticipate.
