When I attend a business conference, I expect to learn things from the presenters. That’s a given. There’s another great source of information that many conference participants overlook: one’s fellow attendees.

This is a popular post from a year ago. I was reminded of it at the WorkHuman conference earlier this month. Some things are simple. Some things are complicated.
