Great post, Margaret! Networking is always a positive benefit of attending conferences. The danger however, is the same with conferences as with writing contests. Conferences and contests can become an addiction and the writer begins to write only for the next conference or contest, instead of for the improvement of his/her skill level or to advance his/her publishing career. Remember the most important thing is to choose writing related events that will benefit each writer as an individual and enhance or improve each individual’s unique writing skills.
