I love going to tech conferences.
I keep an open mind and fill my brain with ideas.
I plan my day and don’t plan. Either works.
I check to see if it’s ok to speak to someone who is by themselves.
I keep hydrated with water.
I take lots of photos and selfies.
I make a note of the people I meet.
I welcome people into a group conversation.
I listen to show I’m interested in what someone else has to say.
I take breaks to allow my brain and body to settle.
I say thanks to the speakers, volunteers and organisers.
I take lots of notes.
I know there are others like me who feel anxious.
I ask simple questions when I meet someone for the first time.
I’m ok leaving a conversation if I’m uncomfortable or not interested.
I step back once in a while to take it all in.
