Headings:

“What the Experts Say
Change your mindset
Pre-introduce yourself
Be strategic with your time
Network on your terms
Listen more; talk less
Manage your existing connections
Make time for yourself
Principles to Remember

Do:

  • Shift your mindset by focusing on how networking is good for your career
  • When choosing which sessions to attend, consider whether you’ll learn something or meet someone new
  • Take the initiative to create networking situations where you feel comfortable

Don’t:

  • Spend all of your time with coworkers you see every day — draw clear boundaries
  • Burn out — give yourself time to rest and rejuvenate during the conference
  • Try to be someone you’re not — putting on a false persona is stressful and tiring”
