Top Ten Reasons to Attend District 78 Spring Conference in Deadwood!
#10: It's good for you. You joined Toastmasters for a reason, to ramp up your communication and leadership skills. What better way to do this than to take advantage of what you can gain from attending the spring conference!
#9: It's an opportunity to network.
When you attend the spring conference, you'll have the opportunity to meet Toastmasters from all across Montana, North and South Dakota and Northwest Minnesota.
#8: It's your chance to learn from the best. You'll have the opportunity to learn, first hand, how your fellow Toastmasters arrived at where they are now. Schmooze with the DTMs at lunch, dinner and throughout the weekend and find out why they joined Toastmasters and where it has taken them so far.
#7: You can make a difference. Commit to attending the contest and bring a fellow Toastmaster who has never attended a conference. You can open up a whole new Toastmaster experience for them.
#6: It promotes professional growth. Taking charge of your professional growth is the key to success. These days, many companies have had to cut back on their funds for growing their employees past their basic job responsibilities. When you come to the Spring Convention you'll find an opportunity to learn and grow, which can help you succeed in the short term and the long term.
#5: Come see the IRISHMAN SPEAK! Conor Cunneen, our keynote speaker, will be there. Not only has he earned his DTM, he is one of the elite Accredited Speakers and a member of the National Speakers Association. Enough said!
#4: You love history.
Deadwood is full of great western history. Take some extra time to explore the area, including Deadwood, nearby Sturgis and Rapid City.
#3: You will find out why the words "play dough" and "microwave" should never be used in the same sentence. Okay, maybe you won't find that out at the conference, but, trust me; only bad things can come of this. So, the real #3 is, you'll get to see in action the best of the best Evaluatoion speeches and International Speech competitors!
#2: Find out how to move forward in your Toastmasters career. Attend the educational sessions to learn and grow a better you.
And the #1 reason to attend YOUR Spring Conference.... To take control of your future! A Toastmaster's conference gives you opportunities to learn and to grow. You'll be exposed to people and experiences that may very well positively influence the rest of your life, personally and professionally. Plus, the Youth Leadership program can help our young folks begin their journey of leadership and communication skills.
