Is there something you’re weirdly good at but which is rarely...if ever...under discussion in your working contexts? Well, now is the time to shine!

Extended Abstract

Is there something you’re weirdly good at but which is rarely...if ever...under discussion in your professional working contexts? Well, now is the time to shine! Whether it is something seemingly subtle (like organizing books on a bookshelf) or the admittedly bizarre (like selecting the best Cadbury Creme Eggs from the store), we’re making space to not only talk about it but curate it through the collaborative development of #WeAreOLC’s Resume of Mundane Skills.

Not sure what to do between sessions or looking for a place to sit back and have some fun with colleagues? Come join us in the Speed Networking Lounge, a reflective and collaborative space where you can recharge your brain (and maybe even recharge your devices). There you’ll find puzzles, games, and activities, as well as new opportunities for “slow networking” to engage in while you chat and get to know people (old and new).
