Hello Everyone, In February 2024, My college organised a techfest. In that tech fest I was a event coordinator of my department's event. Basically that was a non technical event called "BRAINEXS" a one type of memory game. In that, a image that contains numbers of stuffs that is projected on the screen and participants have a 15 to 20 seconds to memorise that image and accordingly that image the questions was asked to the participants. If participants gave a right answer they get a "3" points. If participants gave wrong answer they get "-2" points. This is a criteria for the points. After the completion of the event the winner was announced.This is a simple but interesting event that I was coordinated. So for that Event I get a certificate from my college.#VVPENGINEERINGCOLLEGE #VVPTECHFEST #COORDINATING #TECHNICAL #NONTECHNICAL

Amidst the excitement of watching #Config2024 I had the chance to attend ADPList New York Chapter's inaugural event last night hosted by General Assembly! What a fantastic evening with inspirational panelists and the chance to meet some super interesting folks. Some reflections from last night's talk... 🤝 Talk to a variety of people and do it often! Connecting with friends, colleagues and mentors is crucial to learn about/get involved in projects you find interesting, build rapport with a group, help ensure alignment with different stakeholders and make sure you're answering the right questions with your work for maximum impact. 💥 Impact comes in many forms! It can be easy to get lost in metrics and KPIs, but sometimes impact can be more than just finance-centric measurements. Don't discount the importance of personal and social impact as well as efforts that have an effect in the business or group as a whole. 🤩 Showing your failures is not a weakness. Projects aren't always pretty! Showing your "uglies" and how you work to fix them not only helps you tell your story as a designer but also shows your thought process and problem-solving ability. Especially in the times of exciting (and honestly a little scary) advancements in AI, showing the rough around the edges work can cement your humanity. Thank you again to the team that's heading up the NYC Chapter, all the amazing panelists and GA for hosting. Can't wait to see what else the NYC APDList community has in store! #ADPList #DesignImpact #Networking #PersonalDevelopment

On the morning of Tuesday, June 25, the PanelPicker interface begins accepting speaking proposals for next year's South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin. panelpicker.sxsw.com/about Pro Tip #1 on the PanelPicker speaker proposal process is as follows. DO NOT enter your speaking proposal on June 25. Or even June 26 or June 27 or June 28. Why not? Because you don't gain any advantage in this very competitive process by entering your speaking proposal early. Instead, please take your time before you hit the "Submit Your Proposal" button on the PanelPicker interface. Make sure you have all the wording on your proposal exactly right. Bounce your proposal off of your friends and colleagues to get their input on what they like (and don't like) about your idea. Proofread and re-proofread and re-re-proofread and re-re-re-proofread to make sure there are no errors. Remember that once you hit the "Submit Your Proposal" button for your idea, you can no longer make edits or changes. Just make sure you finalize / submit your proposal before the final PanelPicker entry deadline of Sunday, July 21. Gain more valuable Pro Tips for the 2025 PanelPicker process by attending a Best Practices / Ask Me Anything (AMA) virtual session at 11:00 am Central Time on Thursday, June 27. https://lnkd.in/gTy_cwnr Or if you live in Austin, then come to a special summer edition of "Tacos & Topics" at 8:00 am Central Time on Thursday, June 27.

I'll be joining the OOP Konferenz tomorrow, Wednesday! This event is a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry experts, thought leaders, and enthusiasts in the tech community. I'm eagerly looking forward to engaging in insightful discussions and expanding my professional network. 🎤 Additionally, I have the honour of presenting a talk on "API Thinking" in the afternoon session. This topic is close to my heart, as it encapsulates the importance of understanding and utilising APIs effectively in our increasingly interconnected digital world. My aim is to provide valuable insights and strategies that can help professionals and organisations leverage APIs for better, more efficient, and innovative solutions. 🤝 Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting in the tech industry, I believe there's something for everyone at this conference. If you're attending, I'd love to connect! Feel free to reach out for a chat, share insights, or just say hello. For those who can't make it, I'll be sure to share key takeaways from my talk and the event. 📆 Mark your calendars and join me on this exciting journey at OOP! #OOPConference #APIThinking #TechCommunity #Networking #ProfessionalGrowth #Innovation
