GDC, Networking 101
Networking doesn’t just happen in meeting rooms—it happens in hallways, lobbies, and even bathroom lines, 318#
Hey Friends, Greetings from Bangalore 💗
How Not to Stand Awkwardly in a Corner at Moscone Center.
Surrounded by devs, publishers, and industry leaders, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But with the right approach, you can turn chance encounters into meaningful connections.
Mafalda Duarte’s Networking Playbook saved me at my first abroad event, and it can help you too! Here are some of my favorite plays:
The Have You Met Ted? – Introduce your friend to someone and watch the magic happen.
The Bathroom Line – Waiting in line? It’s prime networking real estate.
The Yes Man – Say YES to new invites, conversations, and opportunities.
