Positioning Yourself in Tech: A Practical Personal Branding Workshop

This is an interactive, hands-on workshop for students and early-career professionals in the tech community who want to build a strong personal brand and confidently put themselves out there. Rather than a traditional panel or keynote-style event, this session is designed as a practical workshop where invited facilitators will lead focused segments within their areas of expertise in personal branding for tech. Workshop segments may cover defining a clear personal brand narrative, positioning technical skills and projects across platforms such as LinkedIn, GitHub, portfolios, and content channels, and developing confidence in professional visibility and storytelling. Participants will actively engage in guided exercises and leave with clear, actionable takeaways they can immediately apply to their careers.
