GENERAL ASSEMBLY + SXSW 2019 WORKSHOPS

Join General Assembly and SXSW at the Palmer Event Center for two days of FREE classes on today's hottest tech topics and desired skills. Saturday, March 9 and Sunday, March 10, you'll have access to some of our most popular classes in web development, data science, digital marketing, user experience design, product management, professional development and more. You'll learn new skills from seasoned practitioners and leave with the know-how to meet the next milestone in your professional life.

Managing careers, families, friends and interests already consume most of our daily lives, but then we're supposed to add “networking" to the mix? In this day and age, networking opportunities are plentiful, but our time isn't. How can someone grow their network without following the traditional notion of networking, aka spending all of their free time at events handing out business cards, and actually establish meaningful relationships? In this session, we’ll explore the science behind networks, what makes people tick, the line between strategy and serendipity, and how you can turn “networking opportunities” into meaningful relationships.

No badge or wristband is required to attend. This session is free community programming in partnership with SXSW. Join the conversation! Use the hashtag #GAatSXSW to stay connected.
