Top tips for networking like an expert at this years conference!

Get the most out of this years' Water and Development Congress & Exhibition 2017 with our 5 networking tips — guaranteed to have you making valuable professional connections in no time!

1. Have a game plan

With so many delegates at one event, the number and pace of conversations can be overwhelming. Make a list of the sessions you want to attend, the sorts of people you want to meet, and your ideal takeaways — don’t forget to pack your business cards!

2. Stay at the conference hotels

Take part in networking events, and increase your chances of meeting and engaging with like-minded delegates around the hotel.

3. Be social

Post on FacebookLinkedIn or Twitter to get involved in the conversation. Tag @IWAhq  and use the conference hashtag #DevelopmentCongress to engage with speakers and delegates — you can start doing this before you even arrive at the conference. Don’t forget to keep tweeting throughout the conference too! Tag your new contacts and highlight speakers!

4. Practice your intro

Avoid the ‘hover’ approach. Rehearse your introduction, so that you can approach delegates with confidence.

5. Be approachable

Circulate and be engaged — don't spend all your time on your laptop or phone. You'll be seen as more approachable for conversations by fellow delegates.
