A conference is a huge opportunity to build relationships with
extraordinary people, people who might have significant impact on your professional or personal success. To make sure that you maximize the return on your (and your organization’s) investment of time and money to attend, you can’t afford to be a conference commoner. You have to be a Conference Commando – and that takes new mind sets and skill sets.

Business networking is a powerful tool for business people to meet relevant people that can help them further their career, whether it is a new job or new clients.
Business networking is the act of interacting and conversing with other people to develop professional contacts and exchange information, usually in the setting of an event or meeting.
Networking helps individuals to establish and nurture long-term and mutually valuable relationships, popular with career-focused professionals.
The aim is usually to expand one’s circle of influence and acquaintances to enhance opportunities to further one’s career – whether it is a new job or promotion or to meet potential future clients, customers or business partners.
Invest time (and a little bit of money) into increasing your networks and relationships – personal and professional, and in the long-run, you will reap the benefits.

8. Things to Keep in Mind when Networking Change your mind about why you’re networking. Don’t expect to get a job or even get help finding a job. This is a chance to learn from someone else, tell your story and determine if your talents might benefit the other party. Take each meeting as it comes, sometimes you’ll have high expectations and it will turn out to be a dud meeting. Sometimes the long shot will be a goldmine. Be Confident. Don’t be the person that wants to stay at home on the computer in their PJs waiting for the phone to ring. Be at the top of your professional game with plenty to offer and a wealth of experience to draw from. Don’t be embarrassed or timid about being unemployed. People expect to hear from you. They want to help.

10. Other “One-to-One” Tips Have an Agenda: You’ll want to start with some small talk, but you called the meeting so you’ll want to have a plan on where you’re taking it. Respect their Time: You should be able to get where you need to go in 30 minutes or less. Only deviate from that plan if the other person is strongly engaged in the conversation Keep Your Calendar Full: No networking meeting should ever be the last networking meeting you have scheduled. Always do your best to have something else lined up. No one wants to be anyone's last, best hope.

12. 10 Tips for Successful Group Networking 4. Hold volunteer positions in organizations. This is a great way to stay visible and give back to groups that have helped you. 5. Ask open-ended questions in networking conversations. This means questions that ask who, what, where, and when. This form of questioning opens up the discussion and shows listeners that you are interested in them. 6. Become known as a powerful resource for others. When you are known as a strong resource, people remember to turn to you for suggestions, ideas, names of other people, etc. This keeps you visible to them.
13. 10 Tips for Successful Group Networking 7. Have a clear understanding of what you do, why you do it, and how it benefits others . In order to get referrals, you must first have a clear understanding of what you do that you can easily articulate to others. 8. Be able to articulate how others may help you if asked. Too often people in conversations ask, "How may I help you?" and no immediate answer comes to mind. 9. Follow through quickly and efficiently on referrals you are given. When people give you referrals, your actions are a reflection on them. Respect and honor that and your referrals will grow. 10. Call those you meet who may benefit from what you do and vice versa. Express that you enjoyed meeting them, and ask if you could get together and share ideas.

17. Top 10 Ways to Maximize Your Networking Approachability 6. Options for Communication - Your friends, colleagues, customers and coworkers will choose to communicate with you in different ways. (face to face, phone calls, emails, and text are the most popular) Make all communication options available on your business cards, email signatures, websites or marketing materials, let people know that can get in touch with you in whatever manner they choose. 7. Email Signature - Customize your email signature.
