It’s tough meeting new people!
You constantly have to repeat
your credentials!
Without structure people tend
to congregate in groups.

Skip the formalities - think about it as making friends.!
Don’t just focus on how they can help you - be genuine !
Think of ways you can help them - Connect!
Don’t hide behind your phone - Social media is a supplement, not a replacement!
Bring a buddy - talking to strangers is easier with a friend - they can also introduce you to new
people
