Networking Event Tips:
Arrive early and study the nametags.
Make a short list of people you want to talk to.
Write a note on the back of their business card so the next day you will remember the conversation.
If you're hoping to meet one person in particular, and you know what the person looks like, wait outside where you have an advantage.
Smile at the people you talk to and remember their names.
Encourage other people to talk about themselves.
Go get somebody a drink.
Introduce people as though they were the most important people in the world.
Ask a friend to join you, knowing someone will add confidence.
Present your business card at the end of the conversation.
Be assertive, standing in the corner isn't the way to meet people.
Most importantly, make sure and follow up the next day with all your new contacts.
