Introduce Yourself with Networking for ALL young professionals

It’s so rare we have the opportunity to connect, so why not learn an essential tool to connect both in person, and virtually? IEEE SENSORS Council invites all young professionals attending the IEEE SENSORS Conference to join in on the Networking session at the Young Professionals Reception on Sunday, October 31st from 1:00 – 2:00 PM. Come ready to meet SENSORS Council members, Industry intellects and other Young Professionals, and learn about the different opportunities available through the IEEE SENSORS Council and IEEE Young Professionals Program.

In this fun, one-hour session, learn a tool to introduce yourself, and meet others at the conference using this networking tool. In this facilitated session, you’ll be guided through a template to use to introduce yourself and welcomed to meet others at the conference.

You’ll experience:

– Learn an elevator pitch format you can use to introduce yourself at the conference (and also use on LinkedIn/Twitter)

– A facilitated networking experience with your peers to meet others at the conference

The IEEE Young Professionals Program is aimed at supporting IEEE members at an early stage in their career, up to 15 years after their first degree, by helping them evaluate their career goals, polish their professional image and create building blocks of a lifelong and diverse professional network.
