Here's an experiment: I've made an aggregate calendar for Austin area meetups and conferences. Please check it out and let me know what you think (and feel free to use that Suggest Event button liberally to add yours!): https://lnkd.in/gtYu3r2V Also, if I missed your meetup or conference, it wasn't on purpose. The process is currently manual on my end and based on what I could remember was happening. Let me know if I missed yours so I can add it :) Let's see if this helps boost attendance and interest in everyone's meetups and conferences in the Austin area! #austin #atx #meetup

Last week Saturday, I attended my first physical event for this year. Here's everything I benefited from it; (For real, I never thought physical events were as inspiring as this, I would have paid more attention to it earlier 😭) 📌 I made friends. 📌 I learnt from experts. 📌 My "why" got strengthened. 📌 I got to network with like minds. 📌 I got inspired by young ladies in tech. 📌 I got a moment to think outside school activities. 📌 I had the opportunity to join valuable tech communities. ... and lots more. So, if you're there and still doubting the power of attending physical events, you've probably been doing it the wrong way, change your perspective of it and trust me, you'll see the benefits I saw. What's that one thing you look forward to when attending physical events? 📷: 😁 #linkedin #physicalevents #techchefy

Unpopular Opinion : Tech Conferences are just Parties for networking over expensive coffee and free swag. Nothing to do with tech or innovation. #TechConfessions #ConferenceClutter #NetworkingNotWorking #SwagHunting #TechPartyTime #ConfBudgetBlues #BeyondTheBadge #CoffeeAndConnections #TechTalkTruths #ConferencingRealities #unpopularopinionsbysandesh #unpopularopinion

Have you ever attended a tech event feeling like you’ve wasted your time? You cannot let this happen at #NoCodeTechSummit 🧏🏾♀️🧏🏾 Here are 5 ways to maximize NCTS! 1. Plan Ahead: Before attending NCTS, review the agenda and identify key sessions, or speakers that align with your interests and goals. Planning ahead allows you to make the most of your time and ensures you don't miss out on valuable opportunities to ask questions or start meaningful conversations. 2. Network Strategically: Take advantage of networking opportunities to connect with professionals, speakers, and fellow attendees. Don't be afraid to start conversations or exchange contact information and make sure to be polite while doing it. 3. Stay Informed: Keep yourself updated on the latest trends, technologies, and industry news before the event. This knowledge will not only improve your understanding of the discussions but also help you to actively participate in conversations, making your overall experience more fulfilling. 4. Participate in the activities: Actively participate in the CV clinic where HR experts can review your CV and make career recommendations alongside the transition station where you can speak to experts in various fields. Finally, remember to check out the sponsor booth for their products and offerings! 5. Follow Up Post-Event: The connections you make at NCTS shouldn't end when it concludes. After the event, follow up with your new contacts through email or professional networking platforms. Express your appreciation for the interaction, share any relevant resources, and show interest in maintaining the connection for potential future collaborations. We hope this will help you maximize your experience this weekend at #NoCodeTechSummit You can still get your tickets here: https://lnkd.in/g3p7NKvz
