• You don’t know many people (yet!)
• This workshop is designed to help, giving you an
• Overview of key technical themes
• Opportunity to meet luminaries in the field
• Opportunity to meet others like you: Newbies interested in functional programming.

Strategies to Minimize Overload

• Don't try to listen to every talk.
• Choose in advance which talks to listen to.
• Target: 30 - 50%.
• Skim those papers in advance. http://icfpconference.org/icfp2015/toc.html
• After, write a few sentences analyzing them: The good, the bad, the missing.

Welcome to ICFP!

The "Hallway Track" is often the most interesting!

Being New is Tough

Strategies for Networking

The Main Attraction: Networking

• Set a goal to meet a few new people a day
• Identify people you'd like to meet:
• People whose work you admire
• People at other institutions
• Develop a set of get-to-know-you questions
• Practice describing your interests
• Don't interrupt conversations in progress
• Don't spend all your time talking to people you already know!
