This chapter looks to help establish our reasons for attending a particular conference and to ensure that we are best placed to achieve tangible results for our efforts and investment. It considers the benefits of presenting as well as attending and how the chosen conference activities are able to meet your goals. This chapter links with Appendix 3 and allows both staff and funding bodies to establish clear objectives and outputs for attendance.
