How To Network At Conferences

For Early-career Cleantech And Battery Industry Professionals.

Free live webinar, Wednesday, July 22nd, 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm UK, with Jill Pestana and Lauren Allanson

Whether it's your first battery conference or your fifth, how you show up can shape the opportunities that follow.

This industry is built through the conversations, relationships, and ideas that continue long after the presentations end. But for many early-career professionals, walking into those rooms can feel intimidating.

Which is why Lauren Allanson and Jill Pestana created this free webinar. Drawing on years of attending, speaking at, organizing, and building communities across the battery industry, they'll share practical frameworks to help you network with confidence, build meaningful connections, and turn every conference into an investment in your career.
