About this Event

Useful AI? Clean Code? Yes, but without the right ecosystem, no one will see it.

​Join for an unfiltered talk with , an Austin-based strategic alliances expert who helps technical leaders turn their connections into real business impact. Kat has moved beyond traditional sales to redefine what networking means in the tech industry, and she’s here to share her strategic blueprints with us.

Key points Kat will deconstruct:

  • From Transactional to Strategic: Why focusing on depth over quantity is the only way to scale in the long run.
  • Defining the Pillars: How to identify the domain experts and key connectors your project needs right now.
  • Building with Intention: The steps to show up consistently, lead with value, and build multi-channel visibility.
  • Don’t be the one who only reaches out when they need something: Learn to think in partnerships, not transactions.

About Kat Rector: Kat is a strategic alliances leader who chairs industry conferences and specializes in helping technologists increase the visibility and reach of their technical work.
