I’ve been frustrated with repeatedly filing notes after a conference/meeting over the years, and never finding time to review the notes.

This year, I started using Evernoteto record my notes.

What a treat! I’ve discovered I reference the notes frequently now, after the event and weeks later. Evernote’s synchronization feature means I can capture screenshots and write notes offline, on my laptop, and even on my cell phone.

Thank you Karen and Karen. Karen S, that's amazing you remember stuff from years ago. Sounds like you do a great job in picking things and making the most of them.

Karen P, I think you did great with Blogcon as you followed up with many people in twitter and in the blogs.

I have piles and piles in my office from conferences and meetings. I always have good intentions but horrible follow-through. This week though, I’m working on following up with one conference that I went to. I think many times, the stuff shared and learned at conferences often gets lost afterwards.

Meryl, your energy is inspiring and it does sound like a busy (but great) week! When I attend a conference where there are many ideas, I try to focus on just a few and implement the learning immediately. As I practice what is preached, it really does stick. I can still recall things I learned (and still use) at conferences attended 10 years ago! Even if you take only one idea or suggestion and use it, the experience is worthwhile.
