Whatâs it like to be at a conference with âfancyâ people, when youâre the one feeling like you snuck in a side door as a seat filler? Okay, okay â thatâs just my imposter monster talking. In todayâs experimental episode, Iâm taking you behind-the-scenes of the recent 5-day main TED conference in Vancouver, building on Pivot episode 325: 10+ Conference Networking Strategies with Alisa Cohn.
In full-on morning voice with a travel mic, I do a daily check-in about what I was nervous about, spontaneous serendipitous invites, fan-girling my favorite authors and podcasters, falling off the energy cliff, what gave me FOMO and JOMO, and my daily quest for coffee. Always. Find. The. Coffee.
