Yes, I call this work

I spend a fair amount of the time in the front of the room, teaching, training, facilitating, sharing the work that we do.  It is a part of what I do that I enjoy.  Once or twice a year, I get to go to a conference and be entirely on the other side, there to listen and learn.  Especially if it on issues I know I lack knowledge or expertise on, I usually enjoy it.  Recently I went to a conference on aging issues in native American populations.  I learn so much about culture, values, beliefs and practices from this group.  

When was the last time you went to a conference on something you are not an expert on?
