For five years I have watched ISTE from afar, always hoping that I would get to go some day. I have watched the Twitter feed, the Facebook posts, and had the conversations with some of the lucky ones that went. And every year to no fail there is a story of failed expectations, of something that didn’t got to plan. Well, seeing that I finally get to this year, I figured I better ask. What are the hidden rules of ISTE, or really any other major conference? What do people expect? What should I know to make sure that I not only have a great time, but that I also don’t do some sort of faux pas sure to upset others?
Also, what are your best tips? How do you make the most out of this experience? I would love to know your thoughts.
PS: Where will I be? Well here you are:
