IEC National’s Meetings & Conferences are Like Potato Chips…You Can’t Attend Just One!
What we mean by this ridiculous statement is that the power of attending professional association meetings isn’t in just going once. The true value of these associations is going many times, for months and months or years and years.
In this day and age of the Internet, you may believe that access to industry information online can and does replace the live, in-person conference or meeting. The truth is, these events and meetings are more important than ever. Each year, IEC National holds a number of events, meetings and information exchange opportunities that bring value to your membership experience.
The human-to-human connections that occur, the serendipitous “hallway conversations” that you can have, in addition to the tours, breakout sessions, and influencer dialog experiences help you discuss topics on a deeper and personal level and provide a professional experience that becomes irreplaceable. It’s the people you meet, network with and learn from who bring the ROI to your time at an IEC National event.
Here are a few key events that you might want to consider from IEC National in 2019:
