2019 will be here before we know it, and that often means that many of you will be planning which conferences to attend for the year. There are so many conferences for assistants to choose from, so I want to share the ones I know about so you can have a central resource.
I'm sure there are more, so please share the ones I missed in the comments below!
As an additional reference, I recommend checking out the list of conferences for assistants I put together last year. Some appeared to be discontinued, so I didn't include them, however, it's possible that could change.
Note: Please double-check event websites in case details change or for additional information.
Nervous about asking your company to cover the cost of a conference? I have a helpful article that gives great tips including an email template so you are prepared to effectively secure professional development opportunities!
