Hey there!

In case you have managed to stay sheltered all this time, Slush week is looming upon us. Now, I’m usually the first one to tell everybody that, if you’re not an entrepreneur looking for investors or an investor looking to fund something new, Slush isn’t really all that fun. The best part of Slush is all that comes with it.

There will be a bunch of cool international people roaming the streets and everyone and their nan (me included) will be organizing amazing side events that are sometimes open for non-ticket-holders to join. So here’s my little guide on how to prepare yourself for Slush Week.

1. Make a game plan: your Slush week can be as busy and overbooked as you wish for it to be. Which days will you be free to explore? What topics and fields interest you the most?

2. Check out the Slush Platform and go through all the events listed there. You’re able to filter the type of ticket needed (or not needed) and search by keywords as well.

3. Eye on the map! Most side events actually don’t take place at the venue. Look for the location and if you’re planning on booking yourself solid, make room for travel time from point A to point B 🥺

4. See you there? We might bump into each other!

And speaking of bumping into each other… Keep your eyes peeled on the Hei Dingo Instagram page cause I’ll be taking over this week 👀

💡Always keep in mind…

It’s a match!

A few months ago, I told you about how good volunteering can be in your job-searching journey.

Slush volunteering specifically opens one door that is oh-so misunderstood. Being able to enter the venue allows you to use the Slush Matchmaking tool just like other attendees. That means you can schedule chats with CEOs and cool company representatives and pitch yourself to the best of your abilities. Make the most out of those connections, research the companies you’d love to work for and go for it!

🍃Have you…
