Bring the Whole Team for Optimal Impact

SSTI annual conferences don't come in a box. We don't publish proceedings or post conference materials. Each year's event is designed as an intensive learning experience; it's about the question and answer, the give and take, the push and pull, the dialogue as much as the individual presentations. You have to be present to win, if learning and growing is winning. We think it is.

We're happy to say we know of multimillion-dollar state science & tech initiatives that have been launched as a direct result of the ideas, the enthusiasm, and the energy that past conferees took home after attending SSTI annual conferences. The key was the dynamic nature of the experience.

Really want to make a difference for your tech-based economic development portfolio? Try to arrange for multiple people to attend from your organization, your board, and your legislative body. Having more than one person attend also means your organization gains better coverage of the entire event. Don't forget to bring the new folks along to get them well grounded for their jobs. Plan a strategic debriefing after the event to incorporate the lessons learned into your programs and policies as efficiently as possible.

Remember, too, that SSTI sponsors and affiliates receive discounted prices on every registration. For more information, visit: http://www.ssti.org/sponsors.htm
