Along with exciting speakers sharing great ideas, meeting like-minded people who are also attending a conference makes for a great experience.

In a virtual space, we don’t bump into each other while waiting in line for coffee or when viewing a kiosk together at the same time.

When we’re all remote, we have to make an extra effort to meet new people. Here are some things you could try.

From 14 February to 4 March, how many connections could you make using these networking missions?

We’re hoping they’ll nudge you toward making meaningful connections and discovering the various types of work taking place across the GC that’s related to data.

  1. Get active with conference networking tools:
  • (Re)Connect with 3 people you already know who are going to the conference
  • Introduce yourself to 3 people who do the same thing you do at a different department or agency
