In listening to other experienced investors talk about their tools and systems, one can't help but review one's own methodology. This enforced reflection is facilitated by metaphorically kicking the tires of other investors' approaches. Most of the time, it reinforces my own methodology and builds self-confidence in my own system, and confidence
does matter.
A corollary to objective #1 above is to remind attendees that the guy sitting next to you may have valuable knowledge and experience to share with you as well. I've found that these peer-to-peer, belly-to-belly
networking opportunities can yield both friendships as well as keen insights. In other words, don't miss the lunch and dinner events. It's half the fun, and you never know who you'll get seated next to!
Call it the
enthusiasm kick-start . I find I'm simply recharged as a trader when I get home. Let's face it, these things are usually at pretty nice locations, and taking a break from normal office routines is always good for whatever ails you, even if you think nothing is ailing you.
Sometimes, I'll take with me a specific element of my methodology or an indicator that I'd like some help demystifying an area of confusion. I recall just such a case some 20 years ago pertaining to stochastics. Lo and behold, I had dinner with George Lane, the creator of the stochastics oscillator. His advice was spot on, and I've been reaping the benefits for the past two decades. But I did pay for dinner!
With any speaker, I first try to ascertain his or her motive for being there as a presenter. This offers both a credibility check as well as helps me to focus on specific content rather than being mesmerized by the sizzle or the sales pitch. Keep an open mind, but in the end remember
there is seldom a free lunch .

Most investment conferences and seminars can offer something appropriate for every level of investor. You may have to actively dig for it, but that one trading gem which catapults you onto the next higher rung is there somewhere. Be patient. Be focused. But for gosh sake, be there.
