Stay away from potentially awkward subjects
Listen and stay focused on what they are saying

The weather.. It works!
Know about the event or the person being honored
Bring up their accomplishments

Give others time to shine

way at that time
Thank you
E-mail, Hand-written card
You see them as someone who can assist you in the future
Connect with them
LinkedIn, Twitter, E-mail
The “we’ll just be friends”
Leave a good impression

next connection will lead you
You might be the connection they are looking for

back to them when they introduce themselves- might help you remember
Use it in conversation, so you don’t forget
Look for a name tag
Bring them over to someone else to introduce
Honestly, just ask them again! ☺

____, come with me to meet them! “
Introduce them to someone else
“Anyway, I don’t want to monopolize your time”
“It’s been great talking with you, let’s exchange cards”
