Good question. Many first-time attendees evaluate the value of the conference in terms of:

• A professional development investment
• Access to new and new-to-you repertoire and teaching strategies
• The latest research findings that could influence how you approach teaching certain aspects of singing
• Networking connections that lead to collaborations
• Renewed inspiration and motivation

Some attendees offset costs through professional development funding from institutions; NATS grants and awards; studio income planning; or tax-deductible business expenses (consult with your tax professional).
