Tips eto Make the Most of Your ATO Experience

Attend the co-located events and settle in. Mix tech + “soft skills” sessions — go beyond purely technical talks to attend sessions on leadership, community, and diversity. Engage actively — Ask speakers questions, introduce yourself to others, collect contacts. Follow up — After the event, reach out to new connections, share learnings, and maybe contribute back to open source.
