NetworkBash is getting close – Operations Team Update

Wow…Almost 2 weeks away. NetworkBash will be here before we know it. November 4^th is right around the corner. The Operations Team is excited and in full swing with all preparations, such as flow of traffic, the setup of rooms, coordination of industry professionals, and most importantly, making sure STUDENTS have a great experience. We are making good progress and working hard to make sure this thing goes smoothly.

Our main focus at this point in time concerns the flow of people from place to place. It will be a normal Wednesday at the Hendrix Center, and we want to make sure people know where to go, when to go, and do not get confused. This thing can be a big success, and we want to make sure that happens. Plus, as an operations team we want to work out every possible kink before November 4^th. From the littlest thing to the most obvious, we want to cover all areas in between. Also, we want to have all the rooms set up in a way that will:

1) maximize our space
2) help to position the rooms in the best way possible for their specific purposes.

We are projecting 18 industry professionals to help with our pitch sessions, which is very exciting. We certainly thank all of these people for helping to make NetworkBash what it is. Our three part pitch sessions include practicing, training, and actually recording a pitch to be put on video. This is where the student gets the opportunity to SELL himself/herself. This video can then be used in the future when applying to jobs. Finally, don’t forget about the After-Party following NetworkBash in the Ballroom at the Hendrix Center. We have been working hard to coordinate lots of great FREE food and drinks to cap off this wonderful day.

Check out our Facebook Event Page and RSVP to let us know you are coming!

LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE ON THE 4^th!!
