Hub Talks: From Students to Professionals
โ๐ About the Event
Step into an afternoon of open conversation, shared stories, and new connections at Hub Talks: From Students to Professionals โ a casual, community-centered event for students, fresh graduates, and early-career professionals finding their path in Silicon Valley.
โThis event is all about real talk and relatable experiences โ not panels or presentations. Youโll join small group discussions led by young professionals from diverse fields like engineering, design, and marketing. Each group will dive into honest conversations about the transition from school to work, adapting to life in the Bay Area, and building confidence in new environments.
โBeyond sharing and learning, this is a space to connect โ to meet people navigating the same questions, challenges, and excitement of starting out. Expect good vibes, light background music, Taiwanese snacks, and refreshments, plus plenty of opportunities to mingle, chat, and grow your network in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
