Introductory

Beyond Tech Talks - Making the Most Out of an Event

9:20 - 9:50 AM ET ; Epic Hall Room

Attending events such as large conferences is fascinating, but it can also be intimidating due to the thousands ​of people and the tens of concurrent sessions held in place. This can feel overwhelming, which makes it ​challenging to take the right steps to network. This is especially the case for first-time attendees and folks who ​have backgrounds in marginalized communities, leading to results such as imposter syndrome. In this session, ​Aayush and I will share some of our insights and experiences on how we built our networks, how we ​leveraged cultural diversity and made the best out of the past events.


This session would encourage folks to take their first step forward and engage in conversations rather than ​pushing themselves back. We will be sharing experiences from our first KubeCon, some of the best practices, ​and a list of Dos and Don’ts at a conference.
