Member Tip: The 3 Second Rule to Networking
As soon as you enter a room of people start a conversation with the first person you see within the first 3 seconds. Do not hesitate. Don't look for somebody you know. It doesn't matter who you approach, just go talk to somebody.
The goal here is to build confidence, get outside 'your head' and build the habit of proactively meeting people. A good place to start is at the registration desk. Try and view this as the "warm up." Use this opportunity to speak to the person beside you as you sign in or receive your name tag.
