Meeting in person again

• The Digital Intersect will provide the opportunity to meet in person again. 
• There is an irreplaceable value in meeting in person to exchange ideas, data, and strategies. 
• Virtual events have served their purpose, but nothing virtual can replace the interactions that happen when people are physically together. 

 

Overcoming the challenges of the virtual workplace

• This timely topic will be addressed at the conference. 
• How can you build a winning team culture from the home office? 
• We are a globally distributed workforce, which requires some virtual interaction. 
• The Digital Intersect will allow people to meet in person to share strategies for effective virtual connections. 

 

Conference networking strategies 

• Your one-time attendance at a conference is not the only effort you have to make at networking. 
• Identify people you can develop long term, mutually beneficial relationships with. 
• Over a lifetime, career opportunities will come from the people in your network. 

 

An overview of The Digital Intersect

• The Futurist Simon Anderson will provide a look at the future of the digital community.

Maximizing your time at the event

• Open your mouth, share your ideas and be open to conversation. 
• Recognize that everyone has a different comfort level post-pandemic and will respect others preferences.
