Event Philosophy

  • Quality over quantity: Better to deeply engage with fewer events
  • Active participation: Speak, ask questions, contribute—not just observe
  • Follow-up matters: The real value often comes from post-event connections
  • Capture insights: Take notes on key takeaways while they're fresh
