// About the Talk //

Social engineering is the act of manipulating someone into divulging information or taking a particular action. While it often has a negative connotation in cybersecurity, there are many less sinister instances where you can use it to improve your life—from dating and job hunting to journalism, sales, and entrepreneurship.

Hear firsthand how Heather R Morgan social engineered her way into exclusive parties and expensive political fundraisers, infiltrated black markets around the world, and built relationships with celebrities and billionaire CEOs. You'll learn actionable tactics for event crashing, how to cold email even the most reclusive and high-level people and get a response, and what to do to get yourself out of a jam.

// About the Speaker //
Heather R Morgan is a serial entrepreneur, writer, rapper, and former economist who worked in emerging markets including post-revolutionary Egypt. As an economist, she specialized in game theory and imperfect information, but Morgan has always had a talent for social engineering. While she's most known as an expert on cold email, in her previous career she used social engineering to navigate and infiltrate black markets and shadow economies. When she's not rapping under her alter ego, "Razzlekhan," Morgan is busy writing for her Inc Magazine and Forbes columns about persuasion, sales best practices, and entrepreneurship.
