Networking as an Introvert: Ivy Malik’s Honest Take on Cannes, SXSW & More

In this episode, I’m reflecting on what it’s really like to show up at big creative industry events as an introvert.

Over the past few months, I’ve been to Cannes Lions, South by Southwest London, Adobe Max, and Social Day — and each one left me with a different feeling. Some were electric. Others felt performative, even lonely.

I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of what these events are really like and a few tips on what you can do that would faciliate connections beyond the event.
