Networking is key to making the connections and forming the relationships that can help advance and enrich your life professionally and personally. The2013 NAPW National Networking Conference -just days away-is the ideal setting for NAPW members to tap into their exclusive network of professional women and network on a face-to-face level.
Really interesting. Focus is on networking and talking to presenters you are interested in getting in contact with
people are as nervous as you, imagine yourself the way you want to be perceived...your image of yourself is what is projected to others, you never know who or what connection will be valuable.
Look over program, join twitter, facebook or linked in status update letting people know you're going, talk to everyone!
So remember the big 3 things you need to have. Know who you want to approach, know enough about them to create some conversation and ask questions and finally – have a business card that’s clean with a link to whatever you do. That’s it!
This has it all, including social media as an option
Preconference prep, business cards, sit next to people you don't know and more...
Conferencing is fun, educational and nerve-wracking! You're in this big sea of people, in an unfamiliar place. You have to get your badge, bag, program and figure out where Salon A is or if it's different from Salon with two A's.
Prep before you try networking at conferences - what you do in advance is important.
