With all the conferences and meetings and gatherings we go to, I thought it would be good to leave a few tips on how to effectively network during these events. I hope you find this useful.
1. Remind yourself you your organization and its priorities
2. Identify your needs
3. Identify groups or individuals who are either aligned with your organization's priorities, or able to help fill your needs
4. Identify new areas for expansion, and the people who can make it happen
5. Make contact early, and make the contact memorable. Show interest in their organization, what they do, and how you can work together.
6. Don't only give them your business card/contact information. Take theirs as well.
7. After you leave the conferencce (meeting gathering etc), send them a message reminding them of who you are, and saying it was a pleasure meeting them. You may also include that you look forward to working with them in the future on whichever initiatives.
8. Don't let them forget you. Message them once in a while with relevant updates on your organization that you think would interest them.
Happy advocating, and happy networking! :)
