Attending the different sessions also gave me insight on areas that I might not want to work in. The session on entertainment and public relations showed me that I do not have enough interest in the latest television shows and pop culture to work in the entertainment industry. All of the reality stars and movies everyone was talking about were beyond me.

Attending conferences also allowed our own PRSSA members to get to know each other better and become friends outside of meetings and work. We have a sort of PRSSA family environment where we always try to help each other.

　　To sum up, if you ever get the chance to attend a PR conference, whether regional or national, be sure to take the opportunity to do so. Conveniently, Syracuse University will be hosting a regional PRSSA conference on March 1-2 this coming spring. Don't miss it!
