Conferences and events suck for the most part. It’s easy to move through an event (conference, meet-up, event, intentional gathering of likeminded individuals, whatever) on autopilot. Here’s what I do to an intentional event experience, instead of a reactive experience. Before the event, I ask myself these ten questions. What’s your game plan for the event? What are the two outcomes you’d like to happen from this event?

We’ve probably all been to at least one networking event, those initially promising but inevitably awkward meet-ups where most people arrive hoping to meet new contacts that can further their career — but end up stirring their drink in the corner of the room chatting with someone they already knew. To an introvert, these events are terrifying, but it turns out that these events aren’t all that effective for extroverts either. So skip the networking events.

These tips are most helpful if you’re attending an in-person networking event solo.

Before I head out to any speaking event, I promote it on social media. You should, too, so that your leads, prospects, clients, and referrals sources (not all of whom will be at your event) can see what you’re up to, and by extension, that you have Authority in the subject matter or else you wouldn’t be speaking. Your speaking events let you advance your perspective of your knowledge. Promoting your speaking events help you to get recognized for your efforts.

Large, traditional business networking events are a time-honored institution. They have been a staple of aspiring and successful professionals for so long that most networking advice focuses not on whether you should attend, but on how to make the most of these events when you do attend. The most basic problem with traditional networking events is that they are mixing bowls for professionals who are there for different reasons. My favorite events to host are wine tastings.

Some years ago, at a former company, I began noticing a curious series of events. I eventually solved the puzzle; my male manager and certain members of our department were meeting with employees, including leaders, over unplanned, informal networking events at a local bar. A casual drink here, a few networking events there with like-minded colleagues isn’t so bad, right? Planning more events that aren’t alcohol-driven is key to being more inclusive.

And just the other day, someone was talking about the product you created, but she didn't ask you about it first.
