A few weeks ago I spoke at the Conference and Hospitality show in Leeds. The set up was similar to a ‘silent disco’ which meant that the audience all had headsets on so that they could hear the speaker and not the noise of the conference. The Conference and Hospitality Show had some great spaces for attendees to network.

Instead of just posting a story link or a picture of a dancing elephant on your social network, engage in conversations. Interact with key industry people via Twitter or Facebook, commenting on their links or asking their opinion. Having 12,000 Twitter follower does you little good if they don''t see you as a real human being.
