Day 1 - US/Eastern Standard Time
New to Connect Marketplace? Don’t miss the First Timers Orientation—a must-attend session designed to help you hit the ground running. Learn how to make the most of your time, navigate the agenda, and maximize your connections.
During Orientation, we’ll welcome special guest speaker Taylor Buonocore-Guthrie for an interactive session all about making every conversation count.
You're here to make connections, in your 1-1 meetings, hallway conversations, receptions, and everything in between. But even in a room full of opportunity, it's easy to leave connection on the table without realizing it. In this opening and interactive session, facilitator Taylor Buonocore Guthrie uses story, humor, and hands-on practice to offer first-time attendees a simple, learnable approach for turning any conversation, scheduled or spontaneous, into a real connection. You'll walk away having met new contacts, in a friendly and structured way, right from the start of your experience.
