As a journalist and avid conference-goer, one of the best suggestions I can give is to take an edge seat wherever you go. You may be at a press conference and have to chase after someone who holds the real story. You may be in a workshop that is nothing like you expected and you want to leave to check out a different workshop. If you’re sitting in the middle, boxed in, you’re not very likely to get up and leave. You’ll miss the real story, the better experience, the things that make a writer’s belly flip or set it on fire.
