I’ve spent the last few days at a big exhibition for the events industry in Frankfurt called IMEX 2013. If you have been to one of these shows you will know it can be quite overwhelming especially if you are on your own or you are new to the industry and haven’t met many people yet (this was my predicament!)

There were many free training sessions for assistants to attend and the exhibitors were all relevant suppliers to the industry which again is not always the case with these types of events! Over the course of the two days I realised it really isn’t a chore to be a great delegate. I attended the after show party.

The Dymo business card scanner app for the iPhone  is such a product.    You download the app to your iPhone (they also support other smartphones) and when you take a picture of a business card it automatically adds the appropriate information to your contact list.   It's also kinda fun to use.

For me as a result of putting myself out there and attending all the events I can, I have not only met some amazing people but have identified two mentors, joined the Board of a women’s networking group, found speakers for events and sought invaluable advice about a number of training courses that Google just would not have been able to provide.

The following are just a few but for people in different industries there will undoubtedly be others. A smartphone is in many ways the swiss army knife of business gadgets. Email is still the primary communication channel for the vast majority of businesses both internally and externally. Smartphone.

I love doing informationals because I like learning about what people do, even if I am not in that industry, and perhaps get an office tour down the line, and make a new friend if they introduce me to someone else. They all have different clients and cater to different parts of the city or industries. She gave me her business card.

Of course, if you only write with a grade school vocabulary, then what does that say about your audience? My house is littered with ideas scribbled on the back of old business cards (I have accumulated quite a few of those in my nomadic career and wanted to put them to good use). Thanks, Phil.

Last year I was invited write articles for ACCO's "Organize Your Desk Day" To give some structure to the series of 30 blogposts, I decided to create a 10-week "How-to" course in setting up an organized and productive workspace. And then, of course, there are numerous combinations that can become even more articles.

Could you walk into any business in your town and say, “Hey, will you teach me what you know for free? Of course not. Like Dave I consider my blog and the free course I offer to be a base for any other publishing I want to do… public credibility, yes. Of course, there was some general negative feedback. How dare we?
