1.) Conferences provide excellent opportunities to expand your knowledge base and improve your personal
skills.
2.) You get the chance to network with others in your
field, meet new people and
often even meet and greet authors, motivational speakers and professionals who
inspire you.
3.) Conferences give you the chance to shine as student and
scholar, especially if you’re presenting. You can also list conferences you’ve participated
in on your resume.4.) Conferences are great way to rejuvenate yourself. Attending a conference is one of the most exciting, accessible opportunities that can give you the boost you need to get re-energized and motivated.
I agree with all the comments above but Number 4 really stands out. It is a good idea to get "unburied" from the day to day and get new, fresh perspectives on current issues you are facing. It can really help restore your "passion for the profession" we all love!
