There is an article that is a good read for Professional Circle, the benefits list are:
- A personal relationship beyond Networking
- Meet other ambitious & passionate people
- Share and Learn from others' stories
- Connections that could really help you, support group.
As a community org, we have always positioned us to help people in transition phases of their life, new comer, career starter/switcher etc.. There is no bigger transition than the coming AI wave. So we are going to start here.
The main theme of this series is to Share and Learn, from other professionals, build connections that could really help you. GDC, GTC and RSA are all happening in March, TDX, HumanX and Stripe conferences are happening next month, welcome to join us to discuss your findings & interests also.
So we are going to start with an early evening light dinner / drink, exchange stories on a picked topic each time, talk about our work and life, as true human beings. There are many professional networking in the valley, so are the social parties. We try to strike a balance here, so to impress others with your professional capabilities, ideas and plannings, then go social on top of that.
After this light circle social, we are taking a walk through Mountain View downtown to the Civic Plaza, and have a light group chat over the wooden lawn chairs there. People can make after event social plans.
Also as a tradition, we would jump start the series, and have participants help decide the formats and direction. As this is a new series, come with your proposals and topics and help shape it. Yes, we will recruit rotating host pairs, as in many of our other activities. We are all volunteers, so build it together with us. We set up the stage, you come to shine.
Topic of the first session -- Transition in AI times
Prepare a story that you can share with others how AI is changing your life. To give it a start, I am going to bring a book, and talk about that AI makes character change possible, as described in the book.
Be it that you are an industry veteran, early in career or fresh in town, welcome to share your ideas and stories. Think it as a Saloon for Professionals. You may really make some useful friends here.
