Networking at events
Monday, February 2nd 2009
Having attended interesting networking events recently, I completely agree with Vergel when he brings up the topic of how to properly network and shares some good tips everyone should follow if interested in really taking advantage of such meet ups.
It’s always hard knowing how to interact with people you don’t know but share common interests. I find it’s hard to really make long lasting impressions, which makes having memorable and useful business cards at hand really important.
I keep meeting people but it’s always so hard to stay in touch afterwards (except for when people are on twitter, which really should simply be a rule if you really want to build relationships and stay in touch).
I’m working on improving the way I handle myself amongst geeks like me, mostly because I really love it. The Toronto Twestival can’t come soon enough.
