Hi Nancy, This is a good question. When I attend conferences I never go to a session that contradicts my belief system unless I need to learn more about the other point of view to sustain/enrich my own or because it's a hot issue and we need to have an opposing side present to ask quesions, make comments, etc. I find that sessions that don't support my philosophy are a waste of time for me. I read the descriptions carefully and try to make good choices. I hope that when I attend a session by someone who will reinforce my thinking I will come away with new ideas, especially if the presenter is someone who continues to learn and doesn't simply rest on past laurels.
