Matching you with judging (and other opportunities)
In just a month, through my outreach group (as part of my judging initiative), he was able to land:
6 peer review opportunities with NeurIPS (a top AI conference).
Two hackathon judging opportunities.
An conference committee invitation for a major AI conference.
With him, as with many top industry professionals, the problem is visibility.
How do you get visibility?
Through outreach. Through emailing and messaging researchers and event and conference organizers in your field to showcase your expertise.
With current members of this initiative, in around a month, I have been able to help them land:
7 peer review opportunities (7 papers) with NeurIPS, a top AI conference.
12 industry-focused hackathon judging opportunities (with several more opportunities coming up this week).
1 conference committee invitation to a top AI conference.
I can also help with EB-2 NIW profile-building through this initiative (some of you have reached out about EB-2 NIW profile-building), but whether we can work together will depend on your proposed endeavor.
I usually only professionals who have a high level of expertise in their field and are open to doing a lot of outreach (I also do outreach to help members and currently send 100-200 messages every week).

About me:
My name is Jason and I work with top immigration lawyers on educational resources related EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1. Most of the profile-building insights I share in this newsletter come from my work with these lawyers.
As a paid subscriber to this newsletter, you get access to:
My EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building opportunities database (400+ opportunities so far, updated every 2-3 days). Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share this spreadsheet with you.
My private EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building group (link below, you will also get access to the newsletter chat). Members have been able to:
Land speaking opportunities.
Land peer review and other judging opportunities (through a university contact listed in my newsletter resources and through peer reviewer members of my private group).
Land conference committee positions.
Find co-authors for papers.
Get in touch with reporters.
Find independent references.
Get involved in top member organizations in their field.
Work with other profile-builders.
Judge hackathons.
My contacts database (these are universities, event organizers, and people involved in relevant organizations that I have spoken to, you can mention my name if you decide to reach out to them). Also, next week, I will be speaking to someone who has won six hackathons to see if he can share insights on how to land hackathon judging opportunities.
Video resources (recorded question and answer-style videos with EB-1A recipients, recordings of my EB-1A profile-building office hours), my guides to EB-1A and EB-2 NIW profile-building, and my reviews of AAO decisions (which go into USCIS’s reasoning for denying an EB-1A/O-1 petition). I review both EB-1A and O-1 decisions.
Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share all of the above resources with you via Google Drive (links below).
