Recently we held our 25 th Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence and WOW, it did not disappoint! Before I go on, I do need to mention that this was my first conference with Joan and the Office Dynamics team as well as my first time working a conference so I didn’t know what to expect. You previously attended.

I have just arrived back in Barcelona after a pretty roller coaster week in the UK, which included running the two day Future Assistant Conference in Camden and an overnight stay at the Royal London Hospital with my one year old.

An administrative assistant conference is best measured by the feeling one has while clapping at the end of the last presentation. The Office Dynamics Conference. I appreciate each attendee that reached out to me to discuss conference topics and asked my opinion about their current work situation.

I am delighted to announce that we will be organising the Assist Conference again next year! This year’s conference sold out so I thought I would launch the event slightly earlier to give everyone a chance to book their place on the conference. Learning by doing will be the cornerstone of the Assist Conference.

I’d like to help you understand better so you can stop asking yourself “what is the difference between an administrative conference and administrative training?” When choosing an administrative conference or training, choose wisely. People are throwing around terminology that can be confusing to the purchaser.

“Why is it worth sending my administrative assistant to a conference?” However, we all know that attending an in-person administrative conference is light years ahead of watching an online webinar. Conferences are the best place to discover new trends and practices. This creates a vast pool of knowledge and potential.

And why not extend that to your conference or event. It can be easy to opt for the standard conference package, but with a little tweaking and few extras you can energise your delegates enough to make for an incredibly productive event.

Do you dread going to the welcome reception at a conference? A lot of people do, especially if they attend the conference alone or are a first timer. However, going to the first night’s event when attending an administrative conference is a great way to start meeting the people with whom you will spend the next 3 or 4 days.

Conference calls can be frustrating when you feel you’re not being heard; whether you’re the host or a participant. Conference calls can easily get derailed and turn into an argument, heated discussion, or focus on something completely off-topic. Introduce Yourself and Your Position.

Just over a week ago, I had the honor of attending the Office Dynamics Annual Conference for Administrative Excellence. That’s one of the reasons I always jump at the opportunity to attend Conference. When it comes to conferences, I’ve attended many. Joan taught us to be assertive and persistent, even in the face of naysayers.
