I’d ask them to confirm timings if I was you, rather than assume what the timings might be based on others.
typically they run for a full day, but I have known firms to put networking drinks at the end of the day, which means it may drag out longer.
NRF should provide you with timings though.
My tips:
- get a good nights sleep
- drink lots of water during the day to keep hydrated and focused (or caffeine!)
- just in case you don’t get one, take a notepad (or a tablet) to make notes on
- make sure you chat to as many people as possible - don’t just stick to the same people, whether other attendees or
NRF reps, all day. Make sure you network and speak to a range of people
- be prepared to ask questions, to contribute to discussions.
