This guide shares tips for maximizing networking, skill-building, and bringing value back to your organization. By investing in conferences, leaders empower emerging talent, fostering a resilient, forward-thinking workforce ready to lead the future. Peyton Glover 6 min read November 5, 2024 Attending events and conferences as a young professional or emerging leader is a transformative experience that offers invaluable opportunities to network, learn, and enhance your contributions to your organization. Recently, my colleague Kelsey Hayes and I attended the Texas Association of Convention and Visitors Bureau (TACVB) conference, which underscored how impactful these events can be for personal and workforce development. This guide aims to provide young professionals with actionable tips for maximizing their experience at industry events while highlighting the importance of encouraging leaders to invest in developing their emerging talent. Why Conferences Are Crucial for Workforce Development In industries like tourism and destination promotion, staying up to date with evolving trends, technologies, and best practices is essential. Conferences are more than just learning opportunities—they are investments in the growth of both employees and organizations. By attending these events, emerging leaders gain fresh insights, acquire new skills, and build connections that can ultimately improve their team’s performance and contribute to the organization’s success. Workforce development flourishes when employees—particularly younger team members—are given the tools and opportunities to grow. By sending them to conferences, leaders empower these professionals to bring back innovative ideas and actionable knowledge, strengthening the organization. Investing in young talent is the cornerstone of building a resilient and forward-thinking workforce as we prepare for the future. Building Connections: The Power of Networking One of the most rewarding aspects of attending the TACVB conference was connecting with other young professionals at the Young Professionals Reception. Meeting peers navigating similar challenges offered an immediate sense of community, which is crucial for those new to the industry. Networking is an essential component of workforce development. Building relationships with peers, mentors, and potential collaborators can significantly impact your career trajectory. These connections often open doors to new opportunities and create a support network you can rely on throughout your professional journey. Events like TACVB provide the perfect platform to establish these relationships early, laying the foundation for long-term success. Tip: Be Intentional About Networking To make the most of these opportunities, approach networking with intention. Find a buddy with someone at your level to explore the event with. Be proactive in introducing yourself to others, ask insightful questions, and genuinely engage in conversations. Make sure to bring the business cards and wear a name tag. Remember, it's not just about expanding your professional circle—it's also about building meaningful connections that can offer support, guidance, and collaboration in the future. Make these connections meaningful by connecting on LinkedIn or sending an email note. Expanding Your Skills Through Professional Development Sessions Professional development sessions are a goldmine for enhancing your skillset. At TACVB, I had the opportunity to attend several sessions that directly aligned with my role. From learning about cutting-edge marketing strategies to discovering the latest tools for stakeholder engagement, these sessions provided practical insights I could immediately apply at work. These sessions are vital for workforce development and equipping young professionals with the skills and knowledge necessary to excel. By learning directly from industry leaders and experts, young employees can bring back innovative practices that enhance their organization’s operations. Tip: Select Sessions Wisely Review the conference agenda beforehand to maximize your learning and choose sessions that align with your current role or areas where you want to grow. Divide and conquer with your colleagues at the conference to maximize the sessions attended. Don’t forget to bring your desired note-taking guide. Think critically about how you can apply what you’ve learned to your job or your team’s objectives. Review your notes within 24 hours. Don’t go on information overload; take the time to sit and reflect with your notes. A Pivotal Moment: The First-Timer Lunch Another pivotal experience at the TACVB conference was attending the First-Timer Lunch. This gathering brought together professionals at different stages of their careers, from CEOs to coordinators, providing an open forum to exchange ideas and share experiences. It was an eye-opening opportunity to connect with industry veterans while building relationships with peers attending for the first time. Interacting with experienced leaders offers invaluable mentorship opportunities and career insights for young professionals. Exposure to those further along in their careers allows you to learn from their experiences, gain advice, and explore potential career pathways. This type of engagement is crucial for workforce development, as it helps younger employees envision their future within the industry and fuels their drive to grow within their roles. Tip: Seize Opportunities to Engage Don’t be intimidated by titles or experience levels—these events are designed to encourage conversation and knowledge-sharing across the board. Take advantage of casual moments, like lunches or receptions, to introduce yourself to seasoned professionals and ask thoughtful questions. These connections can help shape your career path. Prompt questions and an elevator pitch to yourself for who you are and what you do beforehand if socializing does not come as naturally to you. Bring fun merch to hand out; this can be a great way to not only promote your brand but also get your foot in the door, so to speak, for initiating a conversation. Remember to take care of yourself. Rest and recharge your social battery to avoid burn-out throughout the conference. Bringing Value Back to Your Organization The ultimate goal of attending any conference is to bring the insights and skills you’ve gained back to your organization. After attending TACVB, we returned to our roles with new ideas for improving marketing strategies and more effective approaches to stakeholder engagement. The knowledge I acquired enhanced my performance and allowed me to contribute more meaningfully to my team’s success. From a workforce development perspective, this is where the investment pays off. When young professionals return from conferences, they come equipped with a renewed sense of purpose and valuable insights to benefit the organization. Leaders who prioritize sending their younger team members to events foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation, ensuring that the organization remains agile and competitive. Tip: Share What You’ve Learned Don’t keep the knowledge you gain to yourself—host a debriefing session with your team to share key takeaways from the conference. This will position you as a proactive leader and help disseminate valuable information throughout your organization, enhancing overall performance. Conclusion: Investing in the Next Generation Workforce development is critical for any organization looking to stay competitive in the tourism and destination marketing industry. Conferences and events allow young professionals to expand their skills, form vital industry connections, and bring innovative insights back to their teams. Our experience at TACVB emphasized just how powerful these opportunities can be, both for personal growth and for an organization's long-term success. By investing in young professionals, leaders are building a more skilled, motivated, and connected workforce—one that is ready to lead the industry into the future. Attending events is not just a steppingstone in personal career growth; it is an essential part of developing the leaders of tomorrow.

eve Crude oil is down $-2.20 or -3.12% at $68.20. Lowest level since October 30 By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Mon, 11 Nov 2024 15:35:08 GMT The price of crude oil is trading down $-2.20 or -3.12% at $68.20. That's the lowest level since October 30.The price reached a peak on Thursday at $72.84. That the price briefly above its 38.2% retracement of the move down from the July high at $72.59. However on Friday, the price fell below its 100-hour moving average near $71.50 and in trading today, fell and stayed below its 200-hour moving average at $70.52. It would take a move back above the 200-hour moving average to hurt the bearish bias.On the downside, the price is approaching a swing low going back to October 18 at $68.13. Move below that level and traders will start to look toward a rising trendline near $68.10. The low price from October 29 comes near $66.69.Meanwhile, gasoline prices in the US are down -11.36% on the year at $3.19 (average price for all grades of gasoline).

eve What technical levels are in play to start the NA trading day for November 12 By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Tue, 12 Nov 2024 13:19:15 GMT As the North American session begins, the bond traders return after a day off in observance of Veterans Day. Yields are higher to start their trading week with the 2 year up 6.5 basis points at 4.319% and the 10 year up 6.3 basis points at 4.371%. The 2 year yield has moved to a new high going back to July 31 today (4.336%). For the 10 year, it traded as high as 4.773% last week, but fell into Friday with the low reaching 4.558% before bouncing modestly on Friday. That upside has reached 4.64% today - off the low but below the high from last week. Bitcoin moved to a high of $89,983 today - a new record - but has come off and trades at $86,430 currently. The low reached $85208 today in volatile trading. Oil is higher after falling over 3% lower yesterday. The price is up 43% or 0.64% at $68.52 currently. The high reached $68.76 and a low at $67.78. Gold is down another $11 or -.045% at $2607.28. The low reached $2589.80 before bouncing.In the US stock market, the major indices are marginally higher after record closes across the three major indices. The Russell 2000 which has not reached a high since July 2021 got within shouting distance of it record at 2437.08. The high yesterday reached 2441.72. The Dow futures are imploring a gain of 78 points. The S&P is up 1.65 points and the Nasdaq index is now up 7.91 points.There will be several Fed speakers today with Governor Waller, Minneapolis Fed Pres. Kashkari, Philadelphia Fed Pres. Parker, and Richmond Fed Pres. Barkin all scheduled to speakECB policymaker Olli Rehn emphasized that while the direction of the ECB’s monetary policy is clear, the pace of any changes will be data-dependent. The economic outlook, impacted by a struggling manufacturing sector, has deteriorated. Rehn suggested that if disinflation continues, it could support additional rate cuts, with the ECB potentially moving away from restrictive policy territory by spring 2025. He warned against protectionism, noting that tariffs would have a medium-to-long-term impact and are inherently inflationary. With growth in the euro area expected to remain sluggish and downside risks prevalent, Rehn awaits the December projections for a clearer assessment of the economic landscape.EURUSD: The selling in the EURUSD continue as a less friendly US with Pres. Elect Trump, spell slower growth with increased tariffs the concern. Technically, the price initially moved higher in the Asian session but found willing sellers near the low of the swing area between 1.0663 and 1.06703. That was swing lows in June 2024. Staying below kept the sellers in control, and they pushed lower. The price has since moved down to a low of 1.0606 which tests the lows from April when a series of swing lows bottomed the pair. Those levels are also the lows for the year (going back to October 2023).USDJPY: The USDJPY rose yesterday and then stalled in the US session between 153.59 to 153.88 (swing area). Recall, the 153.88 level was a swing high from July 31. The highs from October 28 and October 29 was at 153.88 too. Today, the price moved lower and below the swing area low, BUT found support at the 61.8% of the move down from the July high. That level comes in at 153.397. Going forward, that hold increases that technical levels importance as support. Move below would increase the bearish bias in the short term at least. On the topside, the price has now moved back above the 153.88 level (bullish). If the price can stay above that level now, that would be the most bullish technical scenario as buyers show their strength on the break. On the topside, the 154.54 up to 155.09 would be the next target area to stretch towards. Get above that area over time, and it adds to the bullish bias. Buyers making a play. Can they keep the momentum going?GBPUSD:The GBPUSD fell below the lows from the last 2 weeks (last week low was at 1.28329) and sellers jumped, pushing the price through the 200 day MA at 1.28178. The breaks are more bearish and the low price reached 1.27915 and has bounced. The price has traded above and below the 200-day MA at 1.28179, but has so far stayed below the low from last week at 1.28329. If the price moves back above that level and momentum back to the upside is able to get above 1.2844 and the 50% of the move up from the April low at 1.2866, the buyers are showing some strength and the sellers will start worrying about the failures more and more. Conversely, if the price can stay below the 1.2832 and 1.2844 that keeps the sellers confidence high, but gettng below the 200-day MA is still required again. The price is currently trading near the 200-day MA but remains below 1.28329. USDCHF: The USDCHF extended above the 200 day MA at 0.88176 and also a swing area from 0.88187 to 0.8825. That was a bullish move and the price moved to a high of 0.88303 but failed. The price is back below the 200 day MA and swing area. The price is trading near 0.8800 (0.8802 is the low). ON the downside the 50% is at 0.87986. If that is broken, then the swing area, the 200 day MA and the 50% failed. That should give buyers cause for pause as the buyers had their shot, and they missed. But the price still needs to get below 50%. This article was written by Greg Michalowski at www.forexlive.com.

eve Natural gas: Eyeing extreme dip buying levels for generational gains. By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Tue, 12 Nov 2024 14:41:52 GMT Hello, this is Itai Levitan at ForexLive.com. Today, I’m diving into Natural Gas Futures (NG), which are trading around 2.92 as of yesterday's close. This analysis will be relevant to those of you looking at CFDs, futures themselves, or stocks related to natural gas. Here’s a detailed view of my approach:Natural Gas Futures OverviewCurrently, we’re seeing Natural Gas Futures in a significant channel on the weekly time frame. There’s potential for a bullish breakout from a large bull flag formation, highlighted by the recent piercing through the upper edge of this channel. However, we’re still in uncertain territory—it’s possible the price may reverse back down, retesting the flag before making any decisive move.Dip Buying Extreme TargetingI’m looking closely at the potential for an extreme dip buying opportunity in natural gas. When I say “extreme dip buying,” I’m talking about setting up a longer-term, strategic plan that goes beyond typical levels. Instead of just waiting for an undefined "deep drop," I'm identifying specific price levels that could offer remarkable buying opportunities if the market hits them.Long-Term Support Levels to WatchHere’s what I'm focusing on for a deeper dip buy:1.612 (Low of 2016) – This level may present an attractive medium-term long position, suitable for swing trades.1.44 (Low of 2020) – Similar to 1.612, this level could offer a profitable swing opportunity, though not necessarily for a prolonged hold.While these are appealing points for shorter-term trades, I recommend partial profit-taking here to mitigate risk if the price reverses sharply.Generational Low Opportunity at 1.25For the patient, long-term investors, my primary area of interest lies around 1.25—the historic low from 1995, nearly 30 years ago. This level represents a “generational low,” providing a triple layer of support:The lower bound of the channel.The major, longer-term channel trendline.The historic 1.25 support level from 1995.If natural gas reaches this area, it could be a highly attractive long-term buy. I suggest setting several buy orders around 1.25 to capture a position here and holding for substantial potential upside. Patience will be key—having some trading capital reserved for this area could be a game-changing strategy.The Ultimate Extreme at 1.04If something drastic occurs and the price reaches 1.04, the all-time low from the 1990s, it would represent a multi-generational low. This level would likely attract significant buying interest from funds, institutions, and individual investors. Similar to the parity level we saw with EUR/USD, this psychological round number could spur major accumulation and serve as an unparalleled buying opportunity.Summary and Final Thoughts on Natural Gas and Exteme Dip BuyingIn summary:Stay Patient: This strategy involves waiting for rare, extreme dip-buying levels.Allocate Capital Strategically: Save some ammunition for these lower levels, where the upside potential is considerable.Monitor Support Levels Closely: Levels like 1.25 and 1.04 represent deeply discounted entry points that could yield long-term gains.Follow ForexLive.com for additional insights for investors and traders, and let’s keep an eye on these setups. Extreme opportunities don’t come often, so be prepared and thank me later! This article was written by Itai Levitan at www.forexlive.com. Full Article Technical Analysis

eve What are the main events for today? By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Wed, 13 Nov 2024 07:37:18 GMT Welcome to the US CPI Day! Inflation is back at the top of market's focus after the Fed's 50 bps cut in September, the acceleration in the US data and Trump's victory. If we look at the markets, there's been already some pre-positioning/hedging into a potentially higher than expected CPI print, so there's some risk of a "sell the fact" reaction. Of course, a bigger than expected upside surprise would be much more straightforward. The market is currently pricing a 63% chance of a 25 bps cut in December and basically two more 25 bps rate cuts in 2025 which is already much less than the four projected by the Fed in September. 13:30 GMT/08:30 ET - US October CPIThe US CPI Y/Y is expected at 2.6% vs. 2.4% prior, while the M/M measure is seen at 0.2% vs. 0.2% prior. The Core CPI Y/Y is expected at 3.3% vs. 3.3% prior, while the M/M figure is seen at 0.3% vs. 0.3% prior.At the latest Fed’s decision, Fed Chair Powell said that they expect bumps on inflation and that one or two bad data months on inflation won’t change the process. This keeps the 25 bps cut in December in place even if we get higher inflation readings.The market though is forward-looking, and the rise in Treasury yields showed that the market sees risks to the inflation outlook. Moreover, the red sweep could increase those fears if the progress on inflation stalls, or worse, reverses. Therefore, higher inflation readings might not change the near-term monetary policy outlook, but I personally see it changing the market’s outlook and eventually the Fed’s one.Central bank speakers:09:45 GMT - BoE's Mann (hawk - voter)14:35 GMT/09:35 ET - Fed's Logan (neutral - non voter)18:00 GMT/13:00 ET - Fed's Musalem (neutral - non voter)18:30 GMT/13:30 ET - Fed's Schmid (hawk - non voter) This article was written by Giuseppe Dellamotta at www.forexlive.com.

eve EURUSD Technical Analysis – The price is at a key level ahead of the US CPI By www.forexlive.com Published On :: Wed, 13 Nov 2024 09:56:52 GMT Fundamental OverviewThe puzzling weakness in the US Dollar following Trump’s victory looks more and more like it was just a “sell the fact” reaction. The greenback is now back in the driving seat, and we might have also seen some pre-positioning in the past couple of days into a potentially hot US CPI report today.At the latest Fed’s decision, Fed Chair Powell said that they expect bumps on inflation and that one or two bad data months on inflation won’t change the process. This keeps the 25 bps cut in December in place even if we get higher inflation readings.The market though is forward-looking, and the rise in Treasury yields showed that the market sees risks to the inflation outlook. Moreover, the red sweep could increase those fears if the progress on inflation stalls, or worse, reverses. The market might have already assigned some premium to a higher than expected print, so there's some risk of a short-term "sell the fact" reaction on a higher than expected number.It goes without saying that a bigger than expected upside surprise should see the momentum increasing immediately with the US Dollar likely rallying across the board and Treasury yields shooting higher. On the other hand, a soft print will likely see the US Dollar and Treasury yields falling, although one can argue that it's just going to provide a pullback to go long the US Dollar and short bonds again at even better levels as future conditions will likely see inflation getting stuck above the target or even moving back higher.EURUSD Technical Analysis – Daily TimeframeOn the daily chart, we can see that EURUSD broke through the key support zone around the 1.0777 following the Trump’s victor, retested it and eventually continued lower. We are now testing another key level at 1.06 handle, and this is where the buyers are stepping in with a defined risk below the level to position for a rally back into the 1.0777 level. The sellers, on the other hand, will want to see the price breaking lower to increase the bearish bets into the 1.05 handle next.EURUSD Technical Analysis – 4 hour TimeframeOn the 4 hour chart, we can see that we have a downward trendline defining the current bearish momentum. We can expect the sellers to lean on it to position for the break below the 1.06 handle, while the buyers will look for a break higher to increase the bullish bets into the 1.0777 level. EURUSD Technical Analysis – 1 hour TimeframeOn the 1 hour chart, we can see that we have a minor resistance zone around the 1.0630 level where we have the trendline for confluence. This is where the sellers are likely to step in with a defined risk above the trendline to position for the break below the 1.06 handle. The buyers, on the other hand, will look for a break higher to increase the bullish bets into the 1.0777 level. The red lines define the average daily range for today. Upcoming CatalystsToday, we have the US CPI report. Tomorrow, we get the latest US Jobless Claims figures. On Friday, we conclude the week with the US Retail Sales data.
