The Keystone Conference is full of possibility, but starting conversations can still feel tender, especially in new or unfamiliar spaces. This session is an invitation to slow down and practice connection in a way that feels authentic, respectful, and human.

Together, we’ll explore simple and comfortable ways to enter conversations, stay present, and listen with curiosity, without scripts, pressure, or the need to impress. Through guided prompts, small-group experiences, and moments of reflection, you’ll have space to practice connecting at your own pace.

This is not about perfect small talk. It’s about learning how to begin, how to notice what feels safe, and how to connect in ways that honor who you are. Come as you are and leave with greater confidence in your ability to meet others, right where you are.

Gather in the Hilton Bar for some social time before we head out to the various kick-off restaurants and events. Pay special attention to your bus departure times though.
