If you frequent networking events often and plan to attend industry conferences and events, you’ll always want to make sure that you make a good impression. Here are some tips on how to make the most of your visit and experience:
- Bring a pen and notebook to take notes, along with business cards to hand out to everyone you meet
- Prepare your ‘tell me about yourself’ story to introduce yourself and others remember you
- Research attendees you’re planning to meet to gather specific questions to ask
- Look at photographs from the previous year’s event for appropriate dress ideas
- Perfect your LinkedIn profile so it’s ready to be viewed by those you add
- Restrict your phone use to inputting contact details of others
- Allocate extra time to stay late in case you make plans with someone to connect with
