1 in 4 attendees avoid networking due to

poor networking experiences.

great event networking experience?

Schedule time for networking

As cheesy as it sounds, icebreakers help to thaw

initial reservations

introductions or a quick round of musical chairs

Survey and know your attendees

Plan to make deliberate

introductions

5

Go through the survey data before the event

Pair people with common interests or goals with each other

Cater food

Food entices attendees to arrive early

... or extends the time they spend at an event

It also gives people something to do with their hands

Follow up post-event

Need to clear the venue? Have attendees move on

to an after-party at a bar nearby

Create an opportunity for attendees to connect post-event through social media

by tagging them in a group photo
