I know I'm guilty of trying to "get my money's worth" overload. So true about being nice to the person standing alone...they are usually so grateful. Take it a step further by bringing them into your circle if you are part of the cool crowd. Remember what it was like your first time at the conference? Great advice.

This year is a scale back/prioritize year for me. Because of a work related injury I am trying to stay off my computer and do more face to face networking and using the telephone( I know its ironic I am typing this now) What conference tips would you add to this list? Smile, say hi and introduce yourself to everyone. Pretty basic but at a conference you are usually running to get somewhere and that look of hurry gets cemented on. I am a large man and I try and make myself approachable so I make an effort to smile. It may feel weird but I find it opens the door for me. But not everyone looks like Lurch so this may only advice for the big and tall. But it works for me. see you in Dallas Jeff. I love this list you came up with.

The average person needs to see/hear/read/write/think about something 6 times for the information to move from short term memory to long term application. So when you have that "aha" moment at a conference, write it down - then create 5 more alerts to revisit this discovery in the near future to make it stick!
