UX conferences aren’t just for learning.
They’re for career shortcuts.
Here are 3 ways to squeeze every drop of value from a UX conference (that most attendees miss) 🧵👇
📬 3. Most people never follow up. That’s your edge.
✔️ Send a short DM/email within 48 hours
✔️ Mention something specific from your convo
✔️ Add value (an article, intro, or insight)
→ This is how real networks are built.
5. Ask other researchers what didn’t work for them.
Tool marketing is shiny. Real-world friction lives in the comments section.
UX Twitter + Reddit = gold.
