Networking – why you should start NOW?
summary
Conference attendees measure networking as building and maintaining relationships, not just swapping business cards, and the session proves it with live practice: a 2‑minute warmup to meet strangers, a visible hand signal to stop, and a 10‑minute moderated exercise with task sheets to fill with names. Practical tips include using the LinkedIn QR/scan feature to exchange profiles safely, follow up within days to preserve context, and an example of a project born from networking that runs its 34th meetup after three years.
