• What's your top goal for attending industry events in 2025? Find quality events, a few i attended this year just weren't that great. low barrier to attend also great. it's easy to get work to pay for hotel/flights but entry passes is much harder.

In 2025, I'd love to find a higher-ed specific conference on the West Coast, as my work only have limited funding and I'll need to pay out of pocket if I'm traveling. For that reason, I can only attend Cvent CONNECT virtually, though I am planning on attending in 2025!
