Conference Game Plan

A schedule, targets, and scripts for conferences without overwhelm

Conferences are overwhelming. This recipe builds a lightweight plan — prioritized sessions, networking targets with conversation scripts, and a daily schedule with rest blocks — so you don't try to do everything and burn out by day two.

PROMPT

Create a skill called "Conference Game Plan". Ask for: - Conference name, dates, timezone, and program (link/paste; if missing: unspecified) - My primary goal (feedback, networking, learning, recruiting, job market) - My talk/poster details (if any) - Social comfort level (optional; if unspecified, keep plan neutral) Output: 1) Daily plan: - top-priority sessions - posters to target - buffer/rest time suggestions 2) Networking scripts: - cold email template - quick intro - 3 question prompts 3) A "must-do" checklist: poster photo, follow-up emails, notes capture. Rules: - Don't schedule every slot; leave buffers.

How It Works

The Claw takes the conference program and your goals, then builds a plan

that focuses your time on what actually matters to you.

What You Get

  • A "top sessions" pick list (talks/posters) based on your goals
  • A daily schedule with buffer and rest blocks
  • A short list of "people to meet" with scripts:
  • Cold email / message template
  • 30-second intro
  • Questions to ask
  • A "must-do" checklist: poster photo, follow-up emails, notes capture

Setup Steps

  1. Provide the conference program (link or paste sessions)
  2. Tell the Claw your primary goal (feedback, networking, learning, job market)
  3. Provide your talk/poster details (if any)
  4. The Claw outputs a daily plan, networking scripts, and a follow-up checklist

Tips

  • Don't schedule every slot — the plan enforces buffers
  • Especially useful for first conferences or first poster presentations
  • Social comfort level is optional input — the Claw adjusts script formality accordingly
