Conferences go beyond the agenda

April 20, 2026 | Uncategorized

The agenda is the decoy.

Most people sit through the panels, collect a tote bag, and fly home thinking they worked the conference.

The real stuff happens in the hallway. The coffee line. The bar at 9pm when a contracting officer mentions something their agency has been quietly struggling with for eight months.

We’ve seen clients land meetings at breakfast that would’ve taken six months to schedule cold.

Show up early. Stay late. Skip a session if you have to.

The agenda tells you where to sit. It doesn’t tell you where the work gets done.

On Monday June 1st, I will be presenting a pre-conference workshop at VETS26 entitled:

7 Operational Tactics for Conference Success (That No One Talks About)

This event will share the right moves you need to make at a conference that build your network and pipeline!

So arrive early and make this your best conference ever!
