I met Ian Hendry the brains and owner behind the networking platform WE CAN DO BIZ at a Business Scene Event in Datchet near Heathrow Airport.

As you can imagine I am pretty much surrounded by events 24/7 so it made a lovely change last month when I attended the show simply as a delegate! 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!

The challenge is choosing the right ones to attend; networking at the wrong events will waste your time and dent your confidence. Take business cards.

I won’t lie – I was feeling slightly daunted when faced with the prospect of attending the Gala Dinner Networking Event at Executive Secretary LIVE on my own. By attending networking events it will enable you to become a super connector and should the need arise it will provide you with potential career opportunities and enhanced mobility.

From hotels to stationery manufacturers, car hire companies and venues for events we are constantly procuring suppliers. Recently I went straight to the manufacturer to buy over 100 notebooks for an event and they gave me a great price. Social media is also a great way to get recommendations, particularly Twitter and LinkedIn.

However, if you always try to get out of networking events or fail to engage in discussions and socialising you’re likely to miss out on some great business opportunities. It’s important to understand that networking opportunities aren’t limited to conferences and corporate events. Don’t keep your cards close to your chest.

Now, take a look at your business card, brochures or other social media profiles.    The other day I was in a meeting and saw a card that had the back covered with 2 different QR codes and the front had a few different urls. .    I bet the number is more than five.

I had a great time at the event because I set myself in such a way to focus on it – and my part in it as a speaker – without having distractions in the way. I took a lot of it in, and stepped aside when there was no capacity for me to absorb anything further (which can happen during the span of a multi-day event).

Laughing all the Way to Work

OCTOBER 18, 2008

Networking at a conference does little good if you never speak with the person after the event. Ask for business cards and have a stack of business cards for yourself at hand as well. Make a mental note of what you hear and ask more questions that are leading and open-ended to continue the conversation.

No cold calling, no website or marketing, no business cards or networking events. In a world that prioritizes which vapid celebrity said what on Twitter and getting a good deal at Costco, we all need a regular dose of perspective. The authors’ advice mocks the Silicon Valley startup approach, but it works.

Consider refreshments for your guests, especially if your event might last more than two hours. Don’t forget about Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin – use these social media sites. Give potential attendees plenty of time to make plans, but not so much time that they forget about the event. 3-5 weeks is probably best.

I recently saw an advertisement for an event at a local college called "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." I was appalled you can't succeed in business without trying, I thought.
