If you’re going to the office, you should be meeting with people, collaborating, brainstorming training sessions, getting to know your colleagues, whatever.

If a conference comes up and they are looking for someone to do the registration, we can step in and do that or we can organize it from start to finish. There comes a time when companies need to pony up the money and either pay for your training or pay for a professional instead of heaving everything off on the admin because theyre cheap.

Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. If you meet someone at an Administrative Assistant conference, for example, make sure to follow up with that contact within a week or two after the event. If you discussed a need at the conference, be sure to address it.
