Preparation
Here are a few things to think about before attending any conference:
- Always review the list of other speakers. Is there someone you'd like to get to know, or with whom you may have a common professional or personal interest?
- Ask the organizers for a participant list (tell them it's to focus your speech, which they will appreciate), and review it carefully.
- Show the list to your colleagues or other confidants and ask if they know anyone, or if they would like to connect with or deepen relationships with any individuals or firms who will be present.
