“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” ―Benjamin Franklin
With the holidays firmly behind us, we find ourselves once again taking stock of the past year, and looking to the year ahead to achieve our goals for the future. It’s time for making New Year’s resolutions folks!
Did you know that professional growth goals are consistently part of the top 10 most common New Year’s resolutions in the US? However, according to US News, approximately 80% of resolutions fail by the second week of February. That’s quite a damper on one’s spirits. However, it’s not all doom and gloom. One of the main reasons New Year’s resolutions fail is that they are too generic and hence impossible to measure and track.
So this year, we have the perfect professional development goal for you, one that will help drive your career to new heights in 2019. Yes, we are talking about Qnections 2019!
Now in its 20th year, Qnections will bring together 500+ oil and gas professionals, subject matter experts and industry leaders for 3 days packed with learning sessions, leadership forums, IQ bars, hands-on labs and networking opportunities. It is the premier, ‘go-to’ event for industry professionals looking to elevate their career to the next level and position themselves (and their organizations) for success. This year Qnections will be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas from April 23rd – 25th, and you shouldn’t waste a minute to sign up for what will be your 3 most valuable career days of 2019.

“It’s not about what you know, it’s about who you know” – Anonymous
Humans are inherently social creatures who learn best while sharing their ideas with others and by participating in activities in which they can learn from their peers. After all, many minds are better than one.
This is why Qnections draws the best and brightest in the industry. We understand that some of the best learning happens when people connect with their peers for a candid exchange of ideas, what’s worked for them, and what hasn’t. This year expect to amplify all that by connecting with over 500 of your oil and gas peers – all in one place. Whether it’s taking part in roundtable discussions, mingling with your peers at the Tech Expo or the networking breaks, or taking in a round of golf at Bear’s Best – a unique golf course made up of 18 holes hand selected by Jack Nicklaus – we’ve got you covered.
No more excuses – keep your Qnections 2019 New Year’s resolution
According to the Association for Talent Development (ATD), companies that offer their employees training and development opportunities have a 218% higher income per employee than companies that do not. But it doesn’t stop there. These companies also enjoy a 24% higher profit margin than those who spend less on training and professional development. At the root of these fantastic results is increased employee productivity, which in turn is driven by the skills advancements made possible through learning.
