Attending first conference ever, looking for tips, etiquette
This might seem like a stupid question but I am an overthinker and feel uncomfortable in unfamiliar situations. I am the person standing in the corner and pretending to look at my phone lol... So hopefully I can get some insight into this.
I am going to my first conference as a PA soon. It's out of state. It looks like it's a mix of walking around and looking at exhibits and lectures in a conference room. A couple of my PA colleagues are going but we are not too close but I will try to stick with them if possible.
What is the etiquette at conferences? Do people walk around networking with everyone? Is it more of a stay to yourself type of thing? They better not cold call audience members! What's the dress code? I am planning on wearing business casual clothes. What have your experiences been at conferences?
