Heading to Woodard Scaling New Heights (SNH) this year? We are personally excited to see Michio Kaku, a legend in theoretical physics! What about you?
We have heard accountants tell us that SNH is an exciting and rewarding experience for them. And we believe them. Accounting professionals attend this 4 day conference to expand their knowledge, network, and business opportunities.
To ensure you make the most out of this event, here are six important things to keep in mind before you go:
1. Ensure all your documents are in place
Before you set off, double-check that you have all the necessary documents organized and readily accessible. This includes your tickets, event passes, hotel bookings and plenty of business cards to exchange with fellow attendees.
2. Conduct a tech and gadget check
Make sure your devices are fully charged, and you have all the essential gadgets and accessories you'll need for the event. This includes your laptop, tablet, smartphone, chargers, power banks, and any other tech tools or peripherals required for workshops or presentations.
3. Craft a social media strategy
Harness the power of social media to amplify your SNH experience. Plan your posts ahead of time, engage with event hashtags, and connect with speakers and attendees online. Share insights, photos, and highlights to showcase your involvement and extend your network beyond the conference walls.
4. Keep your calendar clear
SNH is a valuable opportunity to immerse yourself in learning and networking, so clear your schedule and resist the temptation to bring work with you. Focus on fully engaging with the event sessions, exhibitors, and fellow attendees without distractions from your day-to-day tasks.
5. Set clear objectives
Before you arrive at SNH, take some time to define your goals and objectives for the conference. What are the top three things you hope to achieve or learn? Whether it's gaining insights into new technologies, networking with industry experts, or exploring business growth strategies, having a clear focus will help you make the most of your time at the event.
Attend breakfast sessions, main stage events, and don’t hesitate to opt out of sessions that won’t serve your business or fuel your growth.
6. Shortlist apps that will enhance your business
SNH is a great place to interact with all that is latest in accounting tech. As you explore the exhibition hall and attend sessions, keep an eye out for innovative apps and solutions that can enhance your accounting practice.
Take note of at least two apps that align with your business needs and could potentially streamline your workflows or add value to your services. Find their booth and see how to best engage with them.
