The tech industry is all but completely saturated with conferences, summits, talks, and conventions. If you’re a part of the tech space you probably see nine or ten pop up on your calendar every week. All for good reason, albeit. They range from glorified TED talks and showcase conventions to smaller summits and pitch days where you present your ideas to different incubators, investors, and companies. If you’re currently working on a project, have never been to a conference, or simply want some advice on networking, look no further than our first installment of Web3 Wisdom — your source for advice from ConsenSys’ best and brightest.

We talked with a few of the ConsenSys Labs, Catalyst, and Community team members, including Thomas Rush, Sarah Cerchi, Alexander Fields, Ryan Lechner, Everett Muzzy, and Adam Wozney about best practices for making the most of these conferences and summits. They work hard to organize, host, and attend these activations and are best suited to help you make the most of your time there. What are recruiters and investors looking for? What should you bring to the table in order to maximize the return on your efforts? What should you avoid when presenting? With these resources you’ll be ready and well-prepared, particularly if you’re looking to pitch your ideas to ConsenSys.

Give these words of wisdom a look through below and leave a comment if you have any questions. As always, we look forward to meeting you all in person at the next pitch day event.
