Many networking events will
feature a meal if held during meal time
hours. It is crucial to practice good table
etiquette to make the best impression.
Make the
introductions.
Proceed as if your host
of the table.
Sit and listen to
learn.
Start the conversation by
asking questions:
why people are there,
what they hope to gain,
how they found out about
the event. Avoid
monopolizing the
conversation.
Keep your business
cards
handy. Do not deal them out
impersonally.
Practice good table
etiquette. Let common
sense and consideration
of others be your guide.
