Planning can be tough!

Oklahoma State's Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow is hosting the 2009 National ACT Professional Development Conference in February. Initially, I didn't have a large role in the planning process, but now I am in up to my knees! I spent all day today on the phones, calling speakers and reserving rooms. Things are beginning to fall in to place, but I didn't realize how much work goes into it. This conference isn't even that large - we're planning for a max of 120 people. This is a wonderful experience for me. I am so glad I have the chance to help with it. A lot of careers in communications could involve conferences like this, so getting all the experience I can is necessary. If you are an ACT member, or would just like to learn more information about the conference, check out ACT's national Web site.

If you have any tips on conference planning, I'd love to hear them!
