𝟲 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗳 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱

Building a stable network is not as easy as it seems. Here are the most important tips shared by our expert, Anna Podolskaya at the Osmos Talks webinar “𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘕𝘦𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘌𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴.”

𝟭. 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗩𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹
Volunteering at events gives you direct access to speakers and participants before the crowds gather. It allows you to talk with them before everyone else approaches. Plus, they'll see you as part of the organizational team rather than just another attendee — resulting in more trust and a better chance of being remembered.

𝟮. 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗞𝗲𝘆
Reviewing participants' LinkedIn profiles before an event can help you find something in common with people you are interested in. This makes it easier to initiate and maintain small talk, like saying, "Hey, I saw you used to work at FedEx."

𝟯. 𝗡𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲? 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆
There’s usually a Q&A session at the end of the event, and people often feel uncomfortable asking questions or ask something awkward. Good questions on a topic that is interesting to you would be very helpful. People will remember you and come to talk.

𝟰. 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝗻
If you have no interest in continuing a conversation with someone, do not feel embarrassed to move on — remind yourself that you're not talking to a group of friends.

𝟱. 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀
Large events might be overwhelming. If you know supporting a conversation is a challenge for you, set a time limit for yourself in advance, such as 2 minutes per person.

𝟲. 𝗦𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀
At networking events, you might meet some of your future closest friends — people who interest you beyond just a professional level. If you feel a real connection with someone, don’t hesitate to suggest a personal meeting over a cup of coffee. People are usually open to spending an hour for coffee.type your unformatted status here, then select the sections to format and click the associated button above.
