# The Conference-Goer’s Guide to the Galaxy Make the most of the [Postman Galaxy](https://www.postman.com/postman-galaxy/) global, virtual API conference—blasting off this week, February 2-4—with these five tips. All but the last one can be done before Galaxy even begins. ## Tip #1 Ensure a solid internet connection and network Join from a modern browser like Chrome or Firefox. We recommend using a laptop or PC, instead of mobile. Ideally your internet speed is at least 30 Mbps download and 10 Mbps upload for the best quality. However, we recommend a minimum of 5 Mbps download and 2 Mbps upload. Test your speed [here](https://www.speedtest.net/). ## Tip #2 Set up your Hopin profile Throughout the event, you can ask questions during live Q&As and chat with the community, or direct message with other participants. Put your best foot forward by updating your profile in the [Hopin](https://hopin.com/events/galaxy) virtual event platform. You can direct message other participants and even schedule meetings to continue the conversation after Galaxy ends. ![Set up your Postman Galaxy profile in Hopin](https://blog.postman.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/postman-galaxy-hopin-event-profile.png)Set up your profile in Hopin## Tip #3 Add must-see events to your calendar Browse the [Schedule](https://app.hopin.com/events/galaxy/reception) section of the Reception page to find the events that you don’t want to miss.
