Conferences are fantastic for their insightful speakers, engaging sessions, and the invaluable networking opportunities they offer. As excitement builds for The AI Conference 2024, you might wonder how to make the most of your experience. Here’s your guide to navigating The AI Conference, from preparation to post-conference follow-up.
Research and Plan: Before diving into the bustling days of the conference, take some time to research. Check the event details like location, dress code, speakers, and the sessions that intrigue you the most. This preparation will help you avoid any last-minute confusion.
Where to stay: If you’re traveling to attend the event, check out the hotels recommended by the event and the other options in the surrounding area to ensure a convenient experience.
What to Wear: When in doubt, opt for a professional look that can be easily adjusted to suit the atmosphere. As with any event, you’re likely to be on your feet for long periods of time. Keep that in mind when choosing your footwear and clothing for the conference.
Pack Smart: Assemble a conference survival pack: include a notebook, pens, business cards, snacks, water, your registration info, and chargers for your devices. The conference will provide lunch, coffee, water and snacks but it’s always good to bring your favorites with you.
Start engaging with the conference community online using the event’s hashtag: #AIC2024 and by following our Twitter handle: @aiconference. Join the conference’s official Discord Server to begin networking with other attendees and speakers immediately. This pre-engagement can help you identify potential networking opportunities and even set up meetings before you arrive.

Check-In Smoothly: When you arrive at Pier 27, you’ll find registration and check-in clearly marked with signs near the entrances. Follow the directional signs to the check-in desk, where 8 self-service iPads will be available for your convenience. Once you’ve checked in, your badge will be printed at a nearby printer. Conference staff will be on hand to assist you with check-in, accessing your badge, and providing a printed conference agenda. They will also be available to answer any questions you may have.
Mealtime Networking: Although food is provided, it’s wise to eat something beforehand and bring snacks just in case. Use breakfast as a chance to get a feel for the conference’s atmosphere and start making connections!
Choosing Sessions: Don’t shy away from sessions that are outside your comfort zone. The AI Conference 2024 is an opportunity to broaden your knowledge base. If choosing between sessions is difficult, consider splitting up from your colleagues or new acquaintances and sharing notes later.
Interacting with Speakers: Speaking with presenters can be daunting but rewarding. Try to position yourself near the front and engage actively during their session. Post-talk, introduce yourself succinctly and ask thoughtful questions based on their presentation.
Don’t Overlook Lesser-Known Speakers: Often, lesser-known speakers have more time to chat after their talks and can provide just as much value as more prominent figures.
Use Breaks Effectively: Breaks are perfect for networking. Remember, most attendees are there to meet new people, so don’t hesitate to introduce yourself and exchange business cards. Also, introducing yourself on the conference’s Discord Server before the event is a great way to find interesting people and quickly arrange meetings during breaks.
Stay Active Online: Use social media to enhance your conference experience. Live tweeting, engaging with posts tagged with @aiconference or with the conference hashtag: #AIC2024, and interacting with other attendees online can enrich your experience and broaden your network.
Follow Up Promptly: Make sure to follow up with new contacts within 24 hours. A quick message reiterating your appreciation for the conversation and suggesting a further connection can go a long way.
Share Your Experience: Post about your experience online. Whether it’s a tweet, a blog post, or an Instagram story, sharing your takeaways can solidify your learnings and enhance your professional persona as a thought leader.
Attending The AI Conference 2024 is not just about absorbing new information; it’s about actively participating in the evolving world of AI. Use these tips to maximize your experience and make the most out of every opportunity the conference offers.
