To make a memorable first impression at a networking event, I’d focus on genuine curiosity and active listening, asking insightful questions about others' experiences and goals.

This approach not only builds rapport but also highlights a collaborative mindset that resonates with new contacts.

Will try to engage with and connect with other people by showing genuine interest and asking questions, listening, and looking at the person. Additionally, Prepare a short yet captivating self-introduction and include the significant contribution you can make. Have a good attitude, be self-assured, and also, take the time to reconnect with other people after the event.

1. Ice breaker - What brought you here today? Or how do you know/hear about the speaker/person/company hosting the event? Then let them talk.

Follow up in 3 days - Just checking in to see if you were able to [blank]?
