🔑 How to Turn the AfroTech Expo Hall into Your Job Offer

Everyone’s chasing tech jobs online — but the real moves are made in person!

Here’s how to use AfroTech to skip the algorithm and get hired 👇🏾

1️⃣ Forget “just browsing.” Walk in with a target list of 10 companies from the Expo Hall. Research them. Know their open roles before you shake hands.

2️⃣ Talk like you already belong there. Don’t say “I’m looking for a job.” Say “I’m exploring how I can add value to your [product/team/mission].”

3️⃣ Follow up *immediately. After each convo, connect on LinkedIn while you’re standing there. Add a note: “Loved meeting you at AfroTech — I’d love to continue the convo about [specific role/project].”

4️⃣ Skip the portal, find the person. Everyone’s fighting AI filters, layoffs, and fake job posts online. The real advantage? Talking directly to the humans making hiring decisions.

5️⃣ Leverage the vibe. AfroTech isn’t just a conference — it’s a room full of gatekeepers, decision-makers, and future collaborators. Every handshake is an algorithm bypass.

🔑 In a world of AI resumes and auto-apply buttons, the most powerful tech isn’t your software — it’s your social skills.

If you’re going to AfroTech, don’t just attend — activate.
The Expo Hall is your opportunity engine.
