Thanks for listening!  Please support the Rob Skinner Podcast on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/robskinner. In this episode, my wife, Pam, and I go through a set of suggestions so that you leave the World Discipleship Summit a stronger disciple.  We will cover a number of topics that will help make the summit or any conference you go to a memorable, life-changing event. How to Make the Most of a Conference Beforehand Pray beforehand that God gives you what you need: Learn what you need to grow in Make friends Develop partnerships in the ministry Contact people beforehand that you'd like to spend time with Don't worry about people you see normally Try to find housing as close to the conference as possible If you are a speaker, get all your work done by July 15th. Don't allow yourself to go into the conference focused on your material Rehearse it 4 or 5 times and get it critiqued for excellence (John Lusk) Look your best Wear your best clothes or buy some new clothes Get your haircut Confess any sin prior to the conference so you are free in your spirit and confident. Have a quiet time the morning of. Make sure you are in a happy, positive mindset.  Have some good news to share At the Conference: Be loving to every person in front of you Acts 17: "God has determined the times and places…" „You only have to have two loves in your life: for God, and for the person in front of you at any particular time." Smile! Be as warm and as loving as you can to everyone you meet. Sit in the front three rows toward the middle. Engage with the speaker, smile, nod and lean forward. Take notes of the lessons. Immediately after a lesson: Approach the speaker and thank him/her for the lesson Give your name and where you are from Share what you learned and want to apply Share what you are trying to grow in and ask if they have any advice. Try to meet all the leaders organizing the conference and thank them for putting it together. Use meal times to go out and meet other people. Don't get hung up on the cuisine, go where it's easy and fast Don't spend 30 minutes on your choice, know what you want Try to make friends: Remember peoples names Repeat it in the conversation Write it down immediately Ask questions Don't dominate the discussion Encourage, praise or thank freely Exchange numbers Go on dates if you are single. Dom Munson met Tabby Gully at conference and now they are married Take recommendations and be open Write a thank you card Ask good questions and don't only talk about yourself
