Follow the C4CyI and STC LinkedIn pages to stay up to date on events and school related news. In addition, joining LinkedIn groups can maximize your LinkedIn experience, connecting you with like-minded individuals, participating in discussions, and gain access to valuable resources and insights.
Some in-person events to consider:
New Tech Northwest – May 11th
CSA Seattle Chapter Meeting – May 11th
ISSA Puget Sound – May 18th
NICE Conference – June 5-7th
Networking is a critical component for a successful career in the tech industry. With over 774 million members, LinkedIn is a powerful networking tool that allows you to connect with like-minded individuals, participate in discussions, and gain access to valuable resources and insights. However, networking isn’t limited to building online relationships. Attending in-person events, such as tech conferences or local meetups, can help build meaningful connections with other professionals.
When attending events, it’s ideal to come prepared with a well-crafted elevator pitch, business cards, and an open mind. Seek out individuals who work in the same field as you or have similar interests, listen attentively, and ask thoughtful questions to demonstrate your interest. Using LinkedIn in tandem with in-person events can be even more effective. Connecting with someone you meet at an event on LinkedIn can help build a stronger connection. In addition, you can also use LinkedIn to find upcoming events in your area and connect with other attendees before the event. Building meaningful connections can lead to new job opportunities, partnerships, and valuable insights that can help you achieve your career goals.
