NextTalent Volunteers: VDS Ecosystem & Mindset
You’re about to volunteer at VDS. Before the badges, stages and crowds, there’s one thing you need: context ⚡
On Thursday, July 9 at 6:00 PM, we’re meeting at Base 2 for the first stop on the Road to VDS: an introductory session designed to help NextTalent Volunteers understand the event they’re about to become part of.
You’ll discover what VDS is, how the startup ecosystem works and what founders, startups, investors and corporates are actually doing there. We’ll also break down your role as a volunteer, what will be expected from you and how to make the most of being inside an international tech event.
Because knowing where to stand is useful. Knowing what’s happening around you is even better.
