Last week marked the 51st edition of Above & Beyond Hangout, with a focus on the upcoming SIM Conference (May 14–15), one of the key meeting points for the startup ecosystem.
A timely session ahead of the conference, and a practical conversation on how to make the most of it.
Making the most of SIM
This edition focused on how to approach SIM Conference with intention and clarity.
More than just another event, SIM was discussed as a space shaped by curated content, side events, and the informal moments where real connections happen.
🎙️ Throughout the session, the discussion highlighted a simple idea: attending is not enough.
- Preparation matters.
- Knowing who to meet matters.
- Intentional conversations define the experience.
From pre-event outreach to post-event follow-ups, every stage plays a role in turning presence into opportunity.
