Jumping into Question 1; Who is attending @theRCOT #RCOT2019 conference this year? Are you a regular or a newbie? For those of you not attending, what factors affected your decision? #OTalk https://t.co/blWpOKSUWC
#OTalk @OTalk_
@OT_rach @preston_jenny #Otalk This is way better than pizza!! cheers Rach!

@OTalk_ @theRCOT Hello folks! I will be there after a 3 year absence. I will visit Belfast first to make up for what I missed last year. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@BillWongOT @theRCOT Evening Bill! #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @theRCOT for years past, scheduling is always my issue. After all, to CAOT and OT Australia is also part of my international rotation of conferences. #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @theRCOT I am excited to reunite with you guys in 3 weeks time! #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@OT_rach @OTalk_ Thatโ€™s so funny @OT_rach. I still have nightmares after taking my young nephew to the cinema to watch a Pokemon movie when I was 9.5 months pregnant. Pikachu still haunts me to this day 18 years on #OTalk. Now for serious discussion. https://t.co/GCpP2v4quj
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTontheTracks @OTalk_ @theRCOT Yay! I will get to see you again! #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@LAURA59455619 I will try to spot that! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
This will be my fourth time attending, each year i discover something new & i say I wont cram so much in, but i always end up doing more the following year anyway. #OTalk

@OTalk_ @theRCOT Im gutted i can't be there this year. First in 3 I've not made but being qualified now i couldnt save for this year #otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@SimpsonResearch It doesn't matter how many times you attend any OT conference. Dedication and willingness to learn & network is what counts. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Well that def makes you a regular! 11 conferences from @SLawsonOT ... can we go any higher? #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Looking forward to it Bill #Otalk

Youll get the hang of it quickly & hopefully pick up some hints this evening #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ @SLawsonOT If you are counting AOTA- Ginny Stoffel is at 43! She only missed 1 in her long career. #otalk

@GillyGorry I haven't seen you in 4 years! So great to connect again! #otalk

These have been similar to others as well. Can your employer support im anyway? Aware its not always the case #Otalk

Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @OTalk_ @theRCOT But had I been a local, having a CV on hand to give out to prospective employers (if you are a student) is not a bad idea. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Great tip from Bill, having your contact details to hand to carry on conversations after conference #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GillyGorry well- the last RCOT I attended was 2016. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@BillWongOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT Looking forward to meeting you in person @BillWongOT #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
We may have a winner! #OTalk

@OT_KateT @musedNeuroOT @theRCOT I love it! It does cycle around so can get abit nearer. Ol @OTontheTracks is still waiting for Edinburgh lol #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTinretirement @OTalk_ @theRCOT I will try to beat Ginny Stoffel's unofficial record in USA. I now have 33 more in a row to go! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Absolutely some great sessions on this & personalisation #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Pacing and fatigue management skills def come into play at conference! #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ Yes- this is even more so with me. This is OT conference #3 for me in 2019! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Im really looking forward to this one. #Otalk https://t.co/jVxfaJkKvl
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ But, I have improved from last year. 8 even for me is TOO MUCH! #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Ding ding.... we def have a winner. No wonder youre on the CDT, sharing all that knowledge & exp #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTinretirement @OTalk_ @theRCOT yup- she attended 43 AOTA's. I have attended 10 myself- did not miss one since I was a student. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@musedNeuroOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT There have been places up for grabs through @RCOT_NP @musedNeuroOT in the past. That might have been something to consider #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
@OT_KateT @BillWongOT @theRCOT I presented a poster last year and left a pile of cards near by so people could contact me & ask questions/give feedback. Was really effective #Otalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OT_KateT @OTalk_ @theRCOT I bring it because I am an international guest. I do know back in WFOT conferences, people DO exchange business cards. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_

Question 3; What did you enjoy most about the last conference you attended and why? (Any conference, not just @theRCOT ones). #OTalk #RCOT2019 https://t.co/lG9MHIpAZ0
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
I just did a rough count- #RCOT2019 will be my 45th professional conference in my 10 year career. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
I ๐Ÿ’ฏ recommend going to a session thats totally out of your area of practice/interest, you never know whay you might learn but also shows you how wide & varied our profession really is #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Im sure the team will be sad to see you go as well Dee #Otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@dmay_ot @OTalk_ The programme is always so full it can feel a bit overwhelming sometimes. I always miss sessions that would be of interest to me #OTalk. Iโ€™m going to take time and prepare well in advance this year.
#OTalk @OTalk_
@musedNeuroOT Some people do a 50/50 so work pay for ticket and you use leave or the other way. But yes agree, especially in small teams it can be difficult #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
#OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@GillyGorry @OTalk_ I remembered the closing plenary a few years ago. I got to connect with the speaker and met her up last year during my cameo in London as my pit stop from WFOT last year. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Another handy funding tip! #Otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
How many of us say that every year ๐Ÿ˜‚ #Otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@OTinretirement @OTalk_ Looks like there will be big changes next year re conference following the announcement today by @theRCOT. Whatever will you do with your spare time @OTinretirement @ElizabethCasso1 #OTalk
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@OTalk_ I will probably say that x 100 given the volume I put in. 2016 was insane for me- because that year was the back end of my back to back with COTEC 2016. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Sadly @OTontheTracks & i have colour coded timetables every year including back up sessions incase we wouldnt get into our first choices #OTalk

Question 4; First time attendees, how are you feeling about attending for the first time? Is there anything that you would like to ask or know? #OTalk #RCOT2019 https://t.co/dzt2qONKrC
Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT
@jamieson2015 @OT_KateT @OTalk_ @theRCOT AOTA is like that for me. I am trying to check dates with RCOT, CAOT, WFOT, COTEC, and OT Australia to make sure I have enough space to breathe! I conferenced out at times if I don't do proper spacing with my schedule. #otalk
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@SimpsonResearch @dianecox61 @HearHereNYC @alisonlaverfaw @jarviskathryn1 Thank you @SimpsonResearch thatโ€™s really kind. Iโ€™ve got a big gig this year at conference, @RobTheOT and me are taking on the mighty @AvrilDrummond1 and @natlouj in the debate. Yikes!! @theRCOT #OTalk

@OTalk_ @theRCOT My last conference was the RCN Education conference in March. As an OT it was great to hear and learn from the nursing profession buf share our experiences too. It's important to share learning not only from and between our own profession. Presented at RCN before too. #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Love those moments. #OTalk

@musedNeuroOT @OTalk_ @theRCOT I make myself attend these conferences because I know I in a sense am speaking for our #actuallyautistic colleagues who don't have the opportunities to not only attend, but also share their ideas. #otalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
And keep some time to just sit & talk to people. Hard to do when youre dashing around. Which was me last year, a poster 2x social media sessions with @theRCOT, regional stand & #OTalk bits, i def lost out on the talking & sharing.
Dr Jenny Preston MBE @preston_jenny
@OTinretirement @OTalk_ @theRCOT @ElizabethCasso1 Absolutely @OTinretirement. Iโ€™m coming down on Sunday afternoon so letโ€™s make some plans #OTalk
#OTalk @OTalk_
Yes! #OTalk multi professional sharing is a vital tool #OTalk
Teresa Buchan @teresa_buchan
@OTalk_ Im not a first time attendee but i have attended alone and that can be isolating. It doesn't take much for someone to make a connection, then those friendly faces pass each other in sessions, friends are made this easy.#OTalk

@OTalk_ Don't think that what being presented is beyond you, there are always little nuggets of knowledge that surprise you. Sometimes you get the 'we do that' moment that validates what you do in practice. Have an open mind, take time to absorb, to connect and enjoy! #OTalk

@OTalk_ @ClareTaylorBU My ultimate panic moment has to go back in 2014 at AOTA. I had both Amy Lamb and Ginny Stoffel in attendance for my Sunday presentation AND they constantly asked me questions! Coming out of that, though, I actually have more belief in myself as a presenter. #otalk

RT @OTalk_: Also a little reminder about our pre #RCOT2019 get together. If you are attending on your own (or not) its a great chance to meet some people prior to the conference, grab some food & relax before a busy few days. #OTalk #OTalkonTour https://t.co/Y5QpeQeT2J
