2. Staying connected helps you champion ideas
28
When an event is over, your chance to network and connect ends
29
30
Halfmeet: a person who you almost started a friendship with at an event
31
Halfhook: a person you almost hooked up with at an event
32
33
5 non-slimy networking tricks
▪ Ask everyone you like for a business card ▪ Saying thank you starts a conversation ▪ Post your notes from sessions during the
event - attracts people to you ▪ Be active on twitter to find outgoing people ▪ If you use LinkedIn, write something
personal

Really means:
Speakers love people who ask them thoughtful questions about their
presentation

3. What to champion? (lessons learned)
41
Events are abstractions, but
your life is specific
42
Min/Max Note Taking
▪ You won’t remember much in a week ▪ You won’t return to the slides ▪ You need to capture reflections TODAY !
▪ 5 bullets per talk ▪ note links and references ▪ Post a summary on your blog (tweet it) ▪ Post it at work / share with your boss

Responsive Typography can save the world
? ?
Good UX generates revenue
We have ludicrous amounts of company debt
Our financially inept company founders
We can make mobile devices smart about gaps
experiment with closing gaps
Clients with multi-device use cases
50% of ads are clicked by accident
rethink advertising based projects
?
Carousels are evil incarnate and people using
them should have their own level of hell
Fire people who even refer to the Mad Men scene with Draper pitching
Carousel.
Fred’s client was asking for one? (can clients pay us
from hell?)
A month later has anything changed?
