Hi community!
I hope you’re all doing well.
Recently, I posted a quick guide on my LinkedIn about how to get the most out of the UNBOUND event — tips from someone who has attended four times!

If not, it’s time to start booking the sessions you’d like to attend — especially those with limited seating!!
There is a wealth of AMAZING content on countless topics. And to help you make the most of your experience, here are some tips from someone who has been to the event four times:

Set a goal for your attendance at #UNBOUND26. Here are a few ideas: i) attend the event for networking, ii) consume content, iii) benchmark against other companies, iv) sell my products or services, v) generate content… There are many possible goals, and nothing stops you from selecting more than one; however, identify your most important goal so you can focus on it.

Once your goal is defined, it’s time to build your schedule. If you choose to consume a lot of content, you’ll add more sessions to your list — and this is where the danger lies. The venue is HUGE, so it won’t be possible to book back-to-back sessions. Depending on the distance between stages, you might take about 7 minutes just to walk there — not to mention the time it takes to find a seat. The talks are extremely punctual, both for starting and ending, so it’s good to keep that in mind.
-
I suggest leaving plenty of time to meet people, participate in the experiences available there, and interact a lot at the event. There will be people from all over the planet — and countless experiences to discover.
-
Wear comfortable clothes. I made a big mistake at my first event and suffered; you’ll be on your feet for a long time and walking quite a bit. No matter how “fashion enemy” it might be, pairing a running shoe with your most formal outfit might just save you.
-
Don’t miss the happy hours. Drink in moderation and go there to meet people; many opportunities arise from these moments.
-
Download the UNBOUND app on your phone, create a specific calendar for UNBOUND, and try to clear your work schedule to focus on the event as much as possible. Every second spent focused there is worth it.
If it’s your first time at the event, let me know! We can arrange to arrive early on the first day to do a tour of the venue. Getting to know the location will help you save a lot of time during the UNBOUND days.
See you there!!
