Range: For Careers Without a Script
Most of us were handed a script early on. Go to school, pick a path, stick to it.
But some of us never quite fit the script. We're the ones with too many interests, too many "what ifs," and having career crises every year. The ones thinking about whether or not they should or shouldn't pursue that thing they can't stop thinking about.
Range is a gathering for exactly those people.
We're bringing together a panel of multi-faceted humans who've crossed industries, taken sabbaticals, and followed random side quests. They'll talk honestly about how they navigated it, and all the things that went both right/wrong, and how they're thinking about the future of career in an AI-native world.
Panel is from 6:30-7:30pm. Mingle time from 6-6:30pm and 7:30 onwards! Notion will also be providing Coffee Movement and snacks in their cafe afterwards ☕
