Five strategies to lead, not just attend, Tech Week
- Anchor your objectives
Instead of “see everything,” focus on 2–3 high-impact objectives, like forging partnerships, landing press coverage, or testing untapped product features. - Identify and engage with trendmakers
Seek out sessions exploring agentic AI, energy-aware design, and accessibility-driven AR/VR. These are where future conversations begin. - Build visibility through purposeful storytelling
Share emerging learnings in real-time via LinkedIn or X. Tag sessions like “#SFTechWeek” or “#LATechWeek” keywords to boost searchability. - Maximize networking opportunities
Prioritize smaller gatherings, coffee chats, and hallway conversations where it’s easier to connect on a personal level. These informal moments often lead to the most valuable relationships. - Document and share your post-event impact
Publish a recap blog or LinkedIn carousel spotlighting key conversations, actionable insights, and people who stood out. That’s the content that keeps you top of mind and searchable.
