This roundtable is open only to currently enrolled Columbia University students. To register, you must sign in with your UNI.
Join the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Women in Energy initiative for a student roundtable with LinkedIn Co-Founder Allen Blue. This interactive discussion will explore how the nature of work, networking, and career-building is evolving in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world.
As LinkedIn has become a central platform for professional identity and opportunity, the conversation will reflect on its founding vision, how it has evolved over time, and what it reveals about the future of work. Drawing on Allen Blue’s experience building one of the world’s most influential professional networks, the discussion will examine how students can navigate a rapidly changing job market, leverage digital platforms more effectively, and adapt to emerging challenges and opportunities.
Topics will include the impact of AI on early-career pathways, the evolving role of networking, lessons from building and scaling a company, and what differentiates successful ideas in today’s technology landscape. Students will also gain practical insights on entrepreneurship, working with co-founders, and positioning themselves for long-term career growth.
This roundtable will provide an opportunity for students to engage directly with a leading figure in the technology sector, ask questions, and gain actionable advice on building meaningful careers in a time of uncertainty and transformation.
Space is limited, and lunch will be served.
