No matter how experienced you are in your field, we all want to keep growing, and for that we should never stop learning. The following self-developing advantages are why researchers choose IEREK and its conferences:<\/p>\n

1- Sharpen the Saw<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We all know we need to take breaks from the work environment, once in a while to refocus our headspace and sharpen our skills. You will always return from a conference with new ideas and approaches that make you more\u00a0effective and efficient at work.<\/p>\n

2- Meet Experts Face to Face\"\"<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While not all conferences offer you the opportunity to meet business experts, your chance to meet professionals with IEREK is greatly improved when you\u2019re sharing the same room.<\/p>\n

3- Networking Opportunities<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Good conferences provide opportunities for attendees to mix and mingle, form new relationships, and strengthen existing ones. You could link with the perfect prospect, or you may find yourself sitting next to your future collaborator.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong>– Learning <\/strong>i<\/strong>n a New Space<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It’s easy to find ourselves in a rut. Sitting in the same chair, office, coffee house, or now couch, can hold us back from creative thinking and fresh ideas. Escaping from the routine work environment, being in a new space (even if it\u2019s a tired old Holiday Inn conference room), can spark new approaches that could reignite your passion towards your field.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5<\/strong>– Break Out of Your Comfort Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Adding onto the last reason, events break you out of your comfort zone.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nothing to read a blog from the privacy of your office. You won\u2019t run out of breath listening to a podcast (unless you\u2019re on the treadmill.) You don\u2019t have to hold a conversation while your YouTube video buffers.<\/p>\n

While there are those among us who are natural networkers, many of us feel challenged by live events, and meeting new people. Still, breaking out of our comfort zones is\u00a0just\u00a0the type of action we should take to break old habits of thinking that stunted our growth.<\/p>\n

6<\/strong>– New Tips & Tactics<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The problem with the internet is we believe that everything is within reach. Perhaps it is. Unfortunately, this overwhelming amount of data can make it difficult to cut through the noise and reach the best material. A well-managed conference will help curate new ideas, neatly and efficiently, to help us advance our approach.<\/p>\n

7<\/strong>– The Energy of Like-Minded Individuals<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing like being in a room of like-minded people.<\/strong>\u00a0Other people with the same goals, aspirations, and interests, who are willing to take time away from the office to learn something new and better themselves. This helps you realize you\u2019re not alone in wanting to hone your skills and return with this knowledge to your organization.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

8<\/strong>– Invest in Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most important of the 10 reasons, and perhaps self-evident; leaving the office and \u201csharpening the saw\u201d is investing in yourself, admitting that you\u2019re worth the extra mile, and that you still have room to flourish. It\u2019s an investment your career and your company. When you visit the website and submit your research, you\u2019re investing in your own growth. And when you choose\u00a0IEREK<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0you’ll have support every step of the way!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

9<\/strong>– Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Look around a room at a conference and note that everyone, starting from the audience and ending with the authors, has a different way of thinking. They’ve been chosen through a thorough process so that attendees are of the best in the conference\u2019s field, making it impossible not to find what you\u2019re looking for in the conference\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

10<\/strong>– <\/strong>Share Learnings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you’re in a supervisory position, the most important one to you will be this one. If you send someone to a conference and they learn and network, then that\u2019s great. However, to truly make it valuable, they\u2019ve got to bring all that back and share it with the folks who didn\u2019t get to go to the conference but could still benefit from the info. Having the extra responsibility of bringing something back to share encourages your team to be present and engaged during the conference.<\/p>\n
