Being An Introvert At A Conference Is Not As Hellish...
summary
Describes concrete tactics learned over two years that aim to make big conferences manageable: bring a portable card game like Exploding Kittens to start conversations, pick a semi-empty long table and sit facing the crowd, avoid opening a laptop, set strict social limits, start or join an open space, recruit a conference buddy, and schedule short recharge breaks or naps. Claims these moves reliably generate conversations, open doors, and let introverts enjoy conferences without burnout.
