Sharing your expertise doesn’t just advance your career — it strengthens teams, builds trust, and enhances your company’s reputation.
In this joint session with the Emerging Leaders SIG and the Marketing SIG, we’ll explore how bringing together your personal interests, professional expertise, and knowledge-sharing beyond your organization can create meaningful impact.
Hear a short success story from a member of each group on how authenticity and strategic communication have helped them grow professionally.
And yes, it’s more than just your LinkedIn profile picture.
Whether you’re an entry-level engineer or a director, how you show up and communicate your value shapes how you stand out and succeed.
Through interactive discussions and breakout sessions, you’ll gain insights on how to showcase your expertise in a way that benefits both your career and your company.
