As a follow up to my post, 10 Rules to Follow When Meeting People at Events, here are four more ideas to think about when attending events:
1. Arrive early – Arrive early at an event so you can eat before others get there. Also, you can greet people as they come in.
2. Act as a host – As you meet several people, start introducing them to others. Part of the reason for arriving early is so that you can meet most of the people who attend.
3. Don’t eat and drink at the same time – Don't have both hands full with drinks and food. You need to have a hand free at all times for shaking hands with others. Also, as stated above, arrive early so you can have the food part taken care of already. Or eat before you attend the event.
4. Don’t over drink – It is okay to drink alcohol but don't drink in excess. You need to act professional at all times. Don't let people see you buzzed or drunk.
Can you think of any other musts?
