A Field Guide to Your First Conference Day
Badges, breakfasts and when to skip a talk. Everything first-time attendees asked us last year, answered in one place.
Your first conference day can feel like drinking from a fire hose. Here’s how to make SIGNAL HOUSE feel calm, useful and — ideally — fun.
Before you arrive
Pick three sessions you won’t miss and leave the rest open. Badges are collected at the North Gate from 08:00, and breakfast runs until the opening keynote at 09:30.
The hallway track
Some of the best conversations happen between talks. Our hosts wear lime lanyards — ask them to introduce you to someone in your field. That’s literally their job.
