STC – New England Chapter’s Interchange Conference
October 26 and 27, 2018, Lowell, MA
Presented session: Engineering Your Networking Experiences
The theme for this conference was Engineering Experiences, so I updated some slides I had used on networking to give a session called Engineering Your Networking Experiences. I was in the first session of the first day, right after the keynote, so I did my best to send Interchange attendees out into the rest of the conference and the world with some tools for better networking. It was gratifying to hear attendees use some of my phrases in talking to me and others in an effort to network and use what they learned.
