IRL is a cheat code: How in-person events unlock what the internet can't

We spend so much time online building profiles, sending messages, and applying for opportunities… but some of the most important moments in your career still happen in real life. This session is about how to actually make in-person events work for you. Instead of just showing up, grabbing a sticker, and leaving with a tote bag, we’ll talk about how to turn conferences and meetups into real opportunities. That means knowing how to start conversations, how to find the right people in the room, and how to leave with connections that actually go somewhere. You’ll walk away with simple ways to approach events differently—so the next time you show up somewhere like Talent Land, you don’t just attend… you actually get something out of it. Perfect for anyone who has ever walked into an event and thought, “Okay… now what?”
