Hello everyone,
I've got a winter VS coming up very soon, which will be the first one I ever attend. I've read through the past TCLA threads on how to prepare behaviourally, but I would really appreciate some perspective on what to expect logistically.
Pre-VS:
- Should I expect to receive an itinerary for the VS before the first day? Would it be appropriate to ask for one?
- Will I know who else is in my cohort, and are we expected to get in touch before the VS?
- The VS is in a different country, so I'll be living in a hotel for the two weeks. Is there anything other than the essentials that I should pack, e.g.: should I expect for there to be an active/outdoor social?
VS:
- What kind of tasks should I expect to be doing, and is there any way to prepare beyond the general commercial awareness prep?
- How booked up is the schedule outside of work hours and on the weekend in terms of socials?
I understand that it's probably best not to sweat the minor stuff, but I was curious and as this is my first VS I feel like I have no idea what to expect.
Thanks in advance
