Step 1: Plan Your Agenda
Without a plan, opportunities slip away.
How to prepare:
- Prioritize the Awards Lunch. The Gary E. Bird Horizon, Bill McIntyre Leadership, and Words of Wisdom Awards provide valuable takeaways.
- Balance CE credits with a “stretch” session outside your comfort zone; check continuing education details.
- Leave space in your calendar for the Expo Hall—the best insights often happen between sessions.
Step 2: Navigate the Expo Hall with Purpose
The Expo Hall is the heartbeat of CRC, built for true solution discovery.
Strategy pointers:
✔ Create your vendor list before arrival
✔ Book key demos early—traffic builds fast
✔ Focus on solutions that tackle your pain points, not just giveaways
