Networkers... you know who you are. People who attend industry events. Are you there for information, networking, or a bit of both? Do you have a strategy when networking at industry events, or is it more of a shake some hands, kiss some babies, and see what happens? What is your strategy? How do you determine what events you will attend when you look at your calendar? Is it convenience, location, price, CE credits, etc? Comment below why you attend the events you do. Im curious to know what everyone wants to get from the industry or non-industry events.

With all the great industry events happening lately, FOMO is at an all-time high! Especially in late-summer the number of expos, trade shows, networking events, company parties, and team socials explodes! While I love connecting with our community and think that those events are the best hunting grounds for new business, it's impossible to attend them all. 😭 Looking at pictures and posts by other attendees used to fill me with a bit of envy and a pang of regret. What if I am missing out on super important connections? Vital learnigs? The deal of a lifetime? 😱 To combat FOMO, I found these thoughts very helpful: 1. There's always a massive overlap in people who attend the events. You will have more than one chance to connect in person, for the industry meets up all the time. 🤝 2. Taking care of your resources (health, existing deals, lower stress level) is more important than dancing at every party. Take it easy! 🙏 3. If there are super interesting key notes or masterclasses, it's usually possible to get a recording or recap by messaging the organiser or the speaker. Who knows, perhaps you even establish new connections that way. 👋 With these things in mind, it's become much easier to decide which relevant events to attend and when to sit one out. What do you do when event FOMO hits? #sales #saleslove #fomo #events

Insightful article because, even though he doesn't mention it, what JabberYak offers is perfect for organizers of networking events. I can give a first-hand testimony of this fact. Just reach out to me and I'll share how we used JabberYak for a recent MPI Georgia event! Hannah Bradley Meredith Martini, M.S.

Ok, time for a hot take (this time in english because I've been attending a lot of international events lately): the way we design events - esspecially business events of any style - the way we address networking opportunities and what we consider a suitable environment for bringing people together is still based on an oldfashioned idea of who our audience is. An idea that has not yet really begun to change. We still build events in a way when the main audience for any type of business event where neurotypical cis men. It starts with the timing of events, crosses to the number of meetings and ends with party and alcohol as our concept for networking. Do you agree or disagree? Which parts of a business event do you consider valuable and which parts do need to change?

What determines the size of your audience at an event? Is there a ‘right’ number? Well, I think this is a loaded question and it comes back to your event philosophy as an organisation and what the objectives are for your event. For example, this event had 3000 audience members. It was a gala banquet designed to bring a community together and celebrate their contribution toward their community. This is an annual event, so there is an expectation which has been established within its legacy over the decades it has been hosted. Doing anything differently goes against its intended purpose and how the community experiences the event. Some of the audience members travel once a year to Johannesburg, from across the globe, to network and celebrate together, something they only get to do as a community at this particular event once a year. It’s about connecting,  networking, entertaining and recognising their achievements, together. At this scale, this community would not have it any other way. Inclusion, acknowledgement and recognition is key to the intrinsic purpose of this event. At Multi-Media we do our research with our customers to really understand, and sometimes challenge, the rationale for their event philosophies.
