Upcoming Professional Development Opportunities

I’ve often said that if one wanted to, it would be possible to attend a seminar, workshop, webinar or teleclass on a topic of interest every single week, if not every day! Most of us don’t have quite that much time (or training budget) available, but it is important to keep on learning. Here are a few events taking place over the next couple of months that you just may want to consider.

A First Timer’s Perspective on The Annual NAPO Conference

Last week, we heard about NAPO 2010 through the Eyes of a Seasoned Conference-Goer. After asking Julie Bestry to cover the conference for my blog, I thought it would also be interesting to hear from someone who has never been before. I posted a request on LinkedIn, and  Randi Hutton rose to the challenge.

NAPO 2010 through the Eyes of a Seasoned Conference-Goer

After losing an argument with myself about whether or not I would attend this year’s NAPO Conference, I needed to recruit a guest blogger to share the highlights with my readers, and the first person I thought of was Julie Bestry, who is a great writer and a constant source of support and inspiration to me. I think you’ll agree that reading Julie’s post is the next best thing to being there.

Time to Register for NAPO Conference 2010!

Lots of Professional Organizer conferences and other events take place each year, but by far the largest is the NAPO Annual Conference, which will take place in Columbus, Ohio, from April 21 to 24, 2010. As winner of the 2010 Los Angeles Organizing Award for Best Educational Resource, this is an important event for professional organizers from around the globe.

2010 Conference Schedule

Teleclasses, webinars, and live workshops take place throughout the year, but nothing can compare with a professional organizers conference. Spending entire days hearing expert speakers in the company of like-minded professionals is something you must experience, if at all possible, so grab your planner and decide which conference(s) you’ll attend this year!

NAPO-WDC Demonstrated How Much You Can Learn in One Day

Through our wonderful guest bloggers, we’ve had the pleasure of vicariously attending several major professional organizer conferences this year. We don’t hear quite so much about the smaller events, so I was quite pleased when Liz Jenkins of a fresh space agreed to tell us about the 11th Annual NAPO-WDC Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference for Professional Organizers held recently.

Are You an Expert? Share Your Knowledge!

I have written before about the power of public speaking, both as a marketing tool and as a way to support charitable organizations. Another great way to share your expertise with others is by speaking at national or regional conferences, and there are a couple of opportunities coming up you may want to think about.
