Pick Conferences By Programming Relevance
- Check a conference's programming first and match it to your firm's current needs: technical, technology, or business-focused.
- Choose events based on where you are in your firm journey, not on hype or size.
Expo Halls Unlock Product Influence
- The expo hall reveals new tools and lets you connect with people behind platforms you use.
- Those human connections create loyalty and let you influence product direction.
Use Off-Agenda Events To Network
- Prioritize extracurricular meetups, dinners, and vendor events to create serendipitous conversations.
- Attend with a buddy or make friends early to avoid awkwardness and amplify value.
