Pro Tip: Your superpower is planning. Use it to plan REST too.

Mostly B's: The Go-With-The-Flow Survivor

Your Strengths:

  • Sustainable approach prevents burnout

  • Great at forming/maintaining connections

  • Turn education into collaborative experience

Your Challenges:

  • May miss important solo reflection time

  • Plan group activities strategically - Not every meal needs to be a party

  • Recharge time is not optional - Even extroverts need breaks

Pro Tip: Your connections are valuable. Don't forget to also connect with the content.

Mostly E's: The Reluctant Participant

Your Vibe: You're here because you have to be (CE requirements, work sent you, etc.), not because you're thrilled about it. Conferences are overwhelming, Vegas is overstimulating, and you'd rather be literally anywhere else.

Your Strengths:

  • Realistic about your limitations

  • Won't overextend yourself

  • Prioritize genuine rest

  • Honest about what you need

Your Challenges:

  • Might miss valuable opportunities

  • Could leave feeling like it was wasted

  • Risk of isolation

  • May not get ROI on time/money invested

Your WVC Vegas Strategy:

  • Find ONE thing to look forward to - Session, restaurant, show, anything

  • Small wins count - Attended two sessions? That's success.

  • Create your own space - Hotel room is your sanctuary, use it

  • Lower your expectations - Seriously. You'll be happier.

  • Consider: Why are you here? If the answer is only "obligation," maybe conferences aren't your thing—and that's okay

Pro Tip: It's okay to be a conference introvert. Do what works for YOU.

Mix of Types? You're a Conference Chameleon!

Most people aren't purely one type—you might be a Balanced Optimizer who occasionally Social Butterflies, or a Strategic Maximizer who has Reluctant Participant moments when exhausted.

Your superpower: Adaptability. You can shift strategies based on your energy, the day, and what you need in the moment.

Your challenge: Decision fatigue from having too many viable options.

Your strategy: Check in with yourself each morning. "What do I need today?" Then adapt your approach accordingly.
