Data Science Festival

We all know that networking at any time can be extremely daunting - but at the Data Science Festival, it's not just another large-scale conference. We always highlight community 💜 And ahead of our DSF Oktoberfest event next weekend, we thought we would pull together some top tips to make networking less intimidating: Be strategic with your schedule 📖 Prioritise attending talks where you can learn something relevant and meet people with similar interests. Then, you can use the coffee breaks, lunch and networking sessions as opportunities to engage with like-minded individuals Ask Open-Ended Questions ❓ Encourage deeper conversations by asking open-ended questions about the event or the other person’s work. For example, “What drew you to DSF Oktoberfest?” Leverage Social Media 📸 Engage with the DSF Oktoberfest hashtag on social media platforms like LinkedIn or Twitter. Posting updates, sharing insights from talks you enjoyed, or connecting with others online can help you stay visible and extend your network (#DSFoktoberfest) Prepare some conversation starters 🗣 - Ask their opinion on DSF Oktoberfest so far - Mention if you are a newbie or long-standing member of the community - Offer a compliment to them - Discuss a previous session or speaker that you enjoyed Bring a friend 👫 Having a friend at the festival can make networking less daunting and more enjoyable! Tag your networking friends below and invite them to join ⬇ Be authentic and relax 😌 Don't feel pressured to connect with everyone. Focus on building genuine, quality relationships rather than collecting as many contacts as possible. Be yourself and enjoy the process! Have we mentioned that DSF Oktoberfest is completely FREE?
