Preparing for the Meeting

Preparation is key to getting the most out of the meeting. Listed here are multiple tips that will guarantee your successful attendance:
  1. Pre- Register for the meeting: Pre-Registration is MANDATORY to everybody. DEADLINE 1st June 2017. Be sure to register very early in advance for the meeting. Register HERE  
  2. Make your travel arrangements early: Flights and hotel rooms will be in demand during the dates of the World Conference.
  3. Prepare your schedule.  
  4. Download and print the program: we do not have available programs
  5. Prepare to network: read the program carefully and select the relevant key stakeholders with whom you wish to interact. You will have the opportunity to meet well-known individuals who will be accessible during the conference. Breaks and meals will also be suitable times to meet and network with people that you do not normally get to see.  
  6. If it is the case, Practice your formal oral presentation 
  7. Take notes: it helps you to focus when listening; it will be a record for later reference and helps to promote information retention.   
  8. Do not be shy – Ask questions: we encourage you to ask questions at the sessions you attend. Asking good questions is an important skill that can be developed. To become a more active meeting participant, we suggest you to try to have at least three good questions, and write these questions in your notebook-whether or not you intend to ask them. Please, work up to asking your question(s) preferentially in public or after the session. Questions will also promote discussions, which may result in greater advancements or in more clarification.

World Conference on CDG for families and professionals is an initiative of the Portuguese Association for CDG (APCDG)
