I mean, think of a conference room. 20 years ago, everybody walked into the conference room with a notepad. And it was inspired by a book written about networking at MIT called Venture Cafe. So our legal name is actually still Cambridge incubator, believe it or not. Today, no one shows up without a tablet or a laptop.

How many times I have booked a meeting thinking the day was free, only to notice later that an all-day event was put in unnoticed at the top. Recently, we wanted to see who was off site and at what event, so we decided when people are away at conferences, etc. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday.

Do you ever get a meeting request and an agenda has not been provided, or if it is a teleconference the call-in details have not been given or the boardroom hasnt been booked for an internal meeting? When booking meetings ownership of the meeting has to be established. Is the boardroom booked? Whose responsibility is it anyway?

Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. If you meet someone at an Administrative Assistant conference, for example, make sure to follow up with that contact within a week or two after the event. If you discussed a need at the conference, be sure to address it.

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.

They had booked the space for November 8th. I knew we were going to go back to that city the next year so negotiated with the hotel that if I booked the next event at their venue would they waive the cancellation fee. If you are not sure of the number of people who will be booking, then give them a rough estimate.
