About the Webinar
With more than 100 sessions and workshops, a bustling Expo, and 2,600 new professionals and students to meet, you’ve got a lot to cram into just three days of conference time. How do you take advantage of all these great opportunities while you’re there? And perhaps more importantly: how can you stand out and make the connections most useful to you? Hear from career expert Katie Kross and Net Impact member Jonathan Harris, both conference veterans (in fact, Jonathan landed an internship at the 2010 conference), as they teach you how to make the most of your weekend in Portland.
