6 Tips for making the most out of Tech Weeks
1. Plan your agenda in advance:
Tech Week can be overwhelming with its packed agenda. To maximize your time, carefully review the sessions and events ahead of time. Identify key talks, workshops, and networking events that align with your business goals or personal interests. This will ensure that you focus on the most relevant topics and don't miss out on high-impact sessions.
Be sure to check the event calendar published by TECH WEEK by a16z and use it as a tool to register for the events that interest you most. Additionally, you can see the great schedule that Vera designed and shared! Look for our event there.
- Pro Tip: Use a digital tool like Google Calendar or event apps to create reminders for must-attend sessions. Highlight overlapping sessions and prioritize based on the speaker, topic, or opportunity to network.
2. Connect with attendees before the event:
Start networking before the event even begins. Use platforms like LinkedIn or the event’s official app to connect with other attendees, speakers, or exhibitors. Send a brief message expressing your interest in meeting or discussing relevant topics during the event.
- Pro Tip: Reach out to fellow attendees with shared interests and schedule coffee chats or informal meetups during breaks. Networking doesn't only happen at organized events!
3. Diversify your sessions:
While you may be interested in one specific area like AI or blockchain, try to attend sessions outside your primary focus to gain new perspectives. Exploring broader tech trends, like Tech for Good or Cybersecurity, might spark fresh ideas for your business or inspire new strategies.
- Pro Tip: Look for interactive workshops where you can apply new knowledge directly and engage in hands-on activities.
4. Follow up post-event:
Once Tech Week ends, the work doesn't stop there. Be sure to follow up with the people you met, be it through email, LinkedIn, or other channels. Send a personalized message to continue the conversation and explore collaboration opportunities that were discussed during the event.
- Pro Tip: Include a reference to your meeting at Tech Week to reinforce your connection. This helps make your outreach more memorable.
5. Explore the innovation hubs in San Francisco and Los Angeles:
San Francisco and Los Angeles are home to some of the world’s top innovation hubs. Take some time outside of Tech Week to visit Silicon Valley in San Francisco or Silicon Beach in LA. These areas are rich with startups, venture capital firms, and incubators that can offer further insights into the tech ecosystem.
- Pro Tip: Schedule visits to coworking spaces or startup incubators to meet local innovators.
6. Attend networking events and social gatherings:
Beyond the formal agenda, networking events like the Happy Hour hosted by Somnio Software are key opportunities to meet potential partners, clients, or investors. These informal settings can lead to stronger relationships than traditional conference settings. Stay updated: Follow the official social media channels of the events to stay informed about the latest news and announcements.
- Pro Tip: Bring plenty of business cards or have a digital contact exchange app ready to seamlessly share your information with new connections.
