If your company is sending you to a tech conference, it’s a good idea to write a short recap of your experience when you get back home. At minimum, share it with your manager with a note of thanks, or even better, share widely with your entire team, or publish to the entire internet. 

Companies send employees to conferences for a number of reasons including skill development, gaining insight into emerging trends, networking, business development, and sometimes just as a perk for employee retention. 

By sharing your reflections, not only do you spread knowledge and ideas throughout your company, but you’re also showing your company that you take learning seriously and you’ll be more likely to be considered for future opportunities.
