Episode 10
Networking at virtual conferences or at webinars is different than in-person situations, and therefore it requires a different type of preparation. Michelle walks listeners through how to prepare for this type of networking, starting with how to test your computer and set up your Zoom profile. Then she suggests ways to think about your goals for networking so you can "leave" the conference with a few connections.
