“Try to upgrade your experience whenever you can. That may mean one nice meal or a little nicer hotel, that stays within budget, but this can be great for way to remember conference and show care to those with you.” – Ben Trueblood

“The best part of the conference is the memory and experience you take back with you. Don’t try to do everything on the schedule but give yourself time to do the things that are enjoyable.” – Zac Workun

“Be intentional and thoughtful when thinking about what to do and where to go during a conference.” – Chad Higgins
