“Tacit knowledge: how I *exactly* approach EAG(x) conferences” by gergo

Crossposted on Substack.Preamble I have been asked to share a few tips on how to get the most out of the conference as part of the opening talk of this year's EAGxPrague. I decided to focus on the tacit knowledge I have. This is because there is a lot of useful advice on how to get the most out of conferences, but I feel they usually offer general tips, as opposed to really getting into the weeds. Here is a slightly more polished version of the transcript I prepared. I also added some pictures: Hi, my name is Gergő, and I would like to welcome you to this conference too. Props to Hana for organising! Yesterday, I decided to check Swapcard to see how many EA conferences I attended since my first one in 2020.
