402 - Ten Tips to Get More Out of Conferences in 2026

In this bonus episode, I share ten practical ways to get more out of conferences and professional events in 2026. With so many events coming up, this is the perfect time to stop treating conferences as something you squeeze in between clinic days and start using them as genuine growth opportunities. I cover everything from how to prepare properly before an event, why being fully present matters more than taking endless notes, and how relationships formed at conferences often deliver more long-term value than the presentations themselves. We also look at why leaving early, working during sessions, or arriving exhausted quietly sabotages the return on your investment. If you want conferences to actually improve your skills, your business, and your confidence, this episode will help you rethink how you attend, how you learn, and how you apply what you take away. Sometimes a small shift in approach makes a massive difference. Check out my YouTube channel, Tyson E Franklin, to watch the video of today's episode. If you're at a point in your career where you're thinking about systems, scalability, margins, or simply running a calmer, more profitable clinic, you're welcome to reach out and talk with me. There's no pressure, no pitch. Just a conversation to see if coaching is the right next step for you.
