ROI (Return on Investment)

How much would it cost for you not to attend a SHCA Conference?  Learn how to justify your professional development costs and how you could actually save money through your conference attendance.

Benefits Worksheet
Although you might understand the benefits of the conference that interests you, your manager may not. Therefore, to be most effective in justifying the conference, you need to clearly articulate the connection between your organization’s knowledge requirements and the conference program. DO NOT assume that your manager will be able to automatically make those distinctions.

Sample Conference Report

The SHCA Conference, like any other expenditure, requires clear proof that the company will benefit from an outstanding return on investment when attending these conferences. One technique that is used by a number of attendees is the use of a conference report.  A conference report shares information about the conference to people who did not attend the conference.
