How to spend time usefully and emotionally during the Go Viral Festival

Hey! If you are reading this instruction, we’ll meet at the sixth Go Viral festival, which is great!

However, any festival is nothing without contributions of its participants, i.e. you. So, what to do to spend your time effectively there?

First, Go Viral is a unique platform for networking, to find like-minded people, mentors, opportunities for professional and personal development.

This platform will bring together the coolest representatives of media, technologies, business and culture. So you can easily find professionals who can help you make your projects the best in the region!

Navigation maps
The hotel will have navigation tables indicating the halls. We have 3 of them:

  • Media Zone
  • Technology Zone
  • Culture Zone 

Depending on what you are concerned with, make sure to plan what session you want to attend or which speaker you want ask your question. You’d better review the programme in advance (see below).

It is important to remember that this year’s festival is aimed at strengthening the community so that all of our participants and guests can meet each other and make friends.
So once you have registered and explored the venue, feel free to enter some information on the networking wall. 
Networking wall
Networking wall is a board where you can leave your business cards and information about yourself. The board is divided into four parts:

  1. Go Work (leave your business card if you want to find a job or traineeship)
  2. Go Mentor (leave your business card if you are looking for a mentor)
  3. Go Сooperate  (leave your business card if you offer opportunities/work)
  4. Go Team  (if you have an idea! Looking for a team/people)

Choose what suits you best, and be sure to leave “your mark” as we call it. We also encourage you to be proactive, find and share business cards during the festival (what other opportunity will you have if not at this festival?).
Programme
The programme is available online. 

The programme will consist of:

  • Panel discussions, where you can listen to panel speakers, ask your questions, and possibly find a solution to your problem or get motivated to take on new challenges.

  • Master classes and presentations, where you can boost your skills.
  • Interactive sessions in which we encourage you to be proactive. After all, any of your activities will be rewarded with pleasant surprises.

Write down insights from the speakers, ask your questions to the speakers between sessions, or post them all to your social media to make sure you don’t lose anything.
