One of the most anticipated ingredients of the #ConferenceSeason is the networking party. Not only are parties fun and a chance to unwind from the long day – but they offer some of the best networking opportunities to be found.
- Figure out which parties are for you!
- Stand out!!! If you are new to conferences, this is a critical element. To grow your stock in the industry, sometimes you have to do something to get people to remember who you are. If there is a karaoke party, get up there and sing! If there is a costume party – make an effort to find a costume. It isn’t just more fun, but people remember other people who have that type of charisma … trust me, you’ll end up with a lot more people remembering who you are when you make follow up calls.
- Be respectful of the host and other guests. Stay in control – remember, first impressions are critical… don’t be the out of control party-goer. If the party has an invite list… don’t crash it!

I did not get to keep this sign, I think it would have electrocuted me getting it down!

Granted, this was a small party – but a fun time nonetheless.

Affiliate Summit West 2008
It’s actually a pool, not a hottub. It also has a glass wall so the view is pretty freaky from there…

May 14, 2013 at 3:55 pmWas that Melissa Salas’ awful Rally Monkey from ThinkTank 2009? Those Angels won that game, but history knows that the Yankees won the World Series that year.
Missy Ward says
May 14, 2013 at 6:41 pmYep, that was Melissa’s Rally Monkey… We might have to have her break it out for some good luck for Granderson.
