Conference worth attending?

Hi All-

I'm thinking about attending this years conference and I'm wondering if the information you received from previous conferences has been helpful; or do you find the info addresses workflow practices with little resolve?

I can say for me, it is well worth it. You learn ways to improve your job that you may not have looked at before, and networking with peers is a bonus.

Re: Conference worth attending?

I have had the honor to attend this conference several times. It has been wonderful. The conference is geared to our needs as buyers. The networking with other buyers and vendors is amazing. It is nice to know we all have the same problems-big or small.
I have been able to bring back cost saving ideas and ways to generate more revenue. This alone makes this conference worth the time and money.
I live and work in a small town. I do not have many buyers close by that I can talk to about problems, backorders, etc. This is a wonderful place to make connections and friends.
I feel this conference has a lot of value and everyone should at least attend once to see if it has the same value for you.
