Networking Game

Giants Among Us

Meet someone new. Make a connection. Win some prizes.

New for Industry Giants 2026, Giants Among Us is our networking game designed to get students and professionals talking to each other.

HOW TO PLAY

1. GET YOUR CARD

  • Pick up your Giants Among Us Bingo card at the conference.

2. FIND YOUR GIANTS

  • Find people who match the descriptions on your card and ask them to sign the appropriate square.
  • Every signature must come from a different person.
  • You must collect signatures from both students and professionals.
  • Look at the color of their Industry Giants name tag to tell the difference.

3. TALK TO PEOPLE

  • Don’t just collect signatures!
  • Your name tag includes:
    I’M WORKING ON:
    ASK ME ABOUT:
  • Use these prompts to start conversations and look for clues that might help you complete your card.

4. GET TWO LINES

  • Complete two Bingo lines using rows, columns, diagonals, or any combination.

5. TURN IT IN

Bring your completed card to the Industry Giants front desk by 3:00 PM on October 3.

There will be two submission boxes:
