Top 10 list of ways to maximize your experience at The Teaching Professor Conference

Find the advisory board members and ask them question and get their advice. They contain a wealth of knowledge and have been associated with the conference for many years.
Introduce yourself to fellow attendees before presentation sessions begin.
Especially on the first day: Introduce yourself to attendees with "Presenter" tags on their name badges. Asking them to briefly explain what they'll be presenting can help you decide if you'd like to attend (or not).
Sit somewhere different each meal so you can meet and learn from new people.
Network! Talk to anyone seated near you! You will meet interesting, knowledgeable people who have so much to share!
Be open minded
Meet as many people as possible. This is a very friendly conference. Everyone is here with a common goal and that is to learn to be a better teacher. Share your ideas. Use your down time to process everything you have learned that day.
Be open to new ideas in teaching and go to one or two talks outside your comfort zone (clearly outside your own discipline or on a topic you are completely unfamiliar or even skeptical)
Although the workshops are great, the lasting effect of the conference may be the people you meet. So, try and meet many new people and stay in touch with the ones in which you make a connection.
Make sure you say 'hi' to as many people as possible. B. Try to attend a few sessions that are outside of your area of interest…the presenters are so good at this conference that they'll teach you things you didn't even know you didn't know.
