In this workshop, we will discuss how to get the most out of attending, and how to identify the most valuable sessions, events, and other experiences at the conference. We will offer specific networking tips that are custom- ized for the events at the Annual Meeting, including how to behave with speakers, how to meet key attendees, and how to interface with and leverage social media for an optimized conference experience. Confer- ence etiquette and follow-up will also be discussed.
