  1. Laurel,

    Sometimes when I go to events I make a point of trying to find/meet 5 new people. Otherwise if you do just speak to your friends people can get the opinion that these events are just cliques where the speakers/organisers only associate with each other.

    What I have found is after introducing myself to 5 new people, when you see them again you have new fiends.

    Just my 2 cents worth.

  2. ok. five ppl. not 4, not 6 but 5. Gotcha. 😛

    But seriously, that’s a great idea. I do usually try to chat to other people – attendees – but I don’t always get a chance to network with other speakers. I figure they are in the ‘zone’ – if you’ve had to get in front of ppl you know what I’m talking about – and I don’t like to bug them. Of course if I know them well, they are fair game and can be tortured. 🙂

  3. You haven’t considered that there may be 5 people who are interested in meeting you……. keep an eye out for these and your problem is solved! Is Saudi definitely on? Tea should be had prior.CL

  4. It was very much a “catching up with online friends” day for me at adtech today. Meeting f2f with people I knew from their blog or twitter. A shame you weren’t there!

  5. i would’ve absolutely absolutely have loved to caught up with you, buddy – it was heartbreaking to have a ticket and not make it on the second day.

    But I have a two hour lecture to give in the morning and a plane to catch in the evening. Presentations to write, bags to pack and dirty laundry still in the machine.

    Bad timing 🙁
