1. Bring your business cards -- BBI and other conferences give you a great opportunity to network with people with similar ideas or professionals who work in your field. Who knows? You may find an investor for your business, discover a new career opportunity or simply expand your network, which is always good.
2. Be an active participant by asking questions and making comments -- Business conferences are one of the few opportunities to get advice from experts without paying an arm and a leg for it. Take the chance to learn something new and share that knowledge with others.
3. Stay for the entire conference -- you never know who you'll get the opportunity to meet before or after the conference. Also, even though the speakers' topics are listed in the programme, sometimes they will divert from the topic and say the exact thing you may need to hear, so don't skip out on anything.4. Get to know new people -- a conference is not the time to hang out with people you already know. Take yourself out of your comfort zone and introduce yourself to new people. It's likely that they are also looking for the opportunity to meet new people.
5. Attend different types of sessions -- Just because you work in Public Relations doesn't mean that you have to attend the session on Public Relations. Expand your horizons and learn something new that will broaden your points of reference.
Remember these tips and put them to use on March 3rd at the Business Builders Immersion. See you there!
